[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever plays with the backgammon board, it is as if he has dipped his hands in the flesh of a pig and its blood, and Waki' did not approve of it even once."  

أحمد:٢٢٩٧٩حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ لَعِبَ بِالنَّرْدَشِيرِ فَكَأَنَّمَا غَمَسَ يَدَهُ فِي لَحْمِ خِنْزِيرٍ وَدَمِهِ وَلَمْ يُسْنِدْهُ وَكِيعٌ مَرَّةً
