Bayhaqi 20922 — The disagreement about playing chess

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ يَعْقُوبَ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ الرَّبِيعَ بْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ الشَّافِعِيَّ يَقُولُ: لَعِبَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ بِالشِّطْرَنْجِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ظَهْرِهِ، فَيَقُولُ: " بِأَيْشْ دَفَعَ كَذَا؟ قَالَ: بِكَذَا، قَالَ: ادْفَعْ بِكَذَا ".
Rabi' bin Sulayman (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) saying: Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) used to play chess from behind his back (without looking at the board), and he would say: "With what did he move such-and-such?" He would say: "With such-and-such." He would say: "Move with such-and-such."
