وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ يَلْعَبُ بِالنَّرْدِ ضَرَبَهُ وَكَسَرَهَا . قَالَ يَحْيَى وَسَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا يَقُولُ لاَ خَيْرَ فِي الشَّطْرَنْجِ . وَكَرِهَهَا وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَكْرَهُ اللَّعِبَ بِهَا وَبِغَيْرِهَا مِنَ الْبَاطِلِ وَيَتْلُو هَذِهِ الآيَةَ {فَمَاذَا بَعْدَ الْحَقِّ إِلاَّ الضَّلاَلُ }.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umarthat when he found one of his family playing dice he beat him anddestroyed the dice. Yahya said that he heard Malik say,"There is no good in chess, and he disapproved of it." Yahya said, "Iheard him disapprove of playing it and other worthless games. Herecited this ayat, 'What is there after the truth except going thewrong way.' " (Sura l0 ayat 32). Translation Not Available
