أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْمَعْرُوفِ الْفَقِيهُ الْإِسْفَرَايِينِيُّ بِهَا، أنبأ أَبُو عَمْرٍو إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ نُجَيْدٍ، أنبأ أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ، ثنا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَنْهَى بَنِيهِ عَنْ لَعِبِ الْأَرْبَعَ عَشَرَةَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: تَنْهَاهُمْ؟ قَالَ: " إِنَّهُمْ يَحْلِفُونَ وَيَكْذِبُونَ ". وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّهَا كَرِهَتْهَا. قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " وَمَنْ لَعِبَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ هَذَا عَلَى الِاسْتِحْلَالِ لَهُ لَمْ تُرَدَّ شَهَادَتُهُ "، قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " وَهَذَا لِلِاخْتِلَافِ فِيهِ، أَوْ فِي بَعْضِهِ ".
Sayyiduna Salamah bin al-Akwa' (may Allah be pleased with him) used to forbid his sons from playing "al-arba' 'asharah", "the game of fourteen pieces". It was asked: Why do you forbid them? He said: They swear oaths and lie. It has also been narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she disliked it.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Whoever plays any of these believing it to be permissible, his testimony is not rejected. The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) says: This is because of the difference of opinion about it, or about some of it.
