adab:1019

'Ali ibn 'Abdullah was heard expressing his dislike for chess and said, "Do not greet someone who plays it. It is a kind of gambling."  

الأدب المفرد:١٠١٩حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَعْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو رُزَيْقٍ

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَكْرَهُ الأَسْبِرَنْجَ وَيَقُولُ لاَ تُسَلِّمُوا عَلَى مَنْ لَعِبَ بِهَا وَهِيَ مِنَ الْمَيْسِرِ
