Bayhaqi 20933 — The disagreement about playing chess

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ، أنبأ الْحُسَيْنُ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ، ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ الْبُهْلُولِ، ⦗٣٥٩⦘ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مَعْنَ بْنَ عِيسَى يَقُولُ: قَالَ مَالِكٌ: الشِّطْرَنْجُ مِنَ النَّرْدِ، بَلَغَنَا، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ وَلِيَ مَالَ يَتِيمٍ، فَأَحْرَقَهَا.
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Chess too is a form of nard. When Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) became the guardian of an orphan's property, he burned it (the chess set).
