Zubayd bin al-Salt (may Allah have mercy on him) heard Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) on the pulpit, saying: O people! Beware of gambling (he meant nard). I have been told that it is in the houses of some of your people; whoever has it in his house, let him burn it or break it. Another time he was again on the pulpit and said: O people! I spoke to you about this nard, but you have not removed it. I have now resolved to have firewood gathered and burn them along with their houses.
