‘Uqabah bin Amir Al Juhani said “I heard the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ recite when he was on the pulpit “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power. Beware, strength is shooting, beware strength is shooting, beware strength is shooting.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2514)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ {وَأَعِدُّوا لَهُمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ} [الأنفال 60] أَلَا إِنَّ الْقُوَّةَ الرَّمْيُ أَلَا إِنَّ الْقُوَّةَ الرَّمْيُ أَلَا إِنَّ الْقُوَّةَ الرَّمْيُ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Lands will be opened to you, and Allah will suffice you in provisions, so no one should be unable to enjoy themselves with their possessions."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ سَتُفْتَحُ لَكُمْ أَرَضُونَ وَيَكْفِيكُمُ اللهُ الْمُؤْنَةَ فَلَا يَعْجَزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَلْهُوَ بِأَسْهُمِهِ  

[Machine] "If it were not for a statement that I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I would not have supported him," Al-Harith said. Ibn Shamasa asked, "What is it?" Al-Harith replied, "Whoever learns archery and then abandons it is not one of us, or he has disobeyed."  

عُقْبَةُ لَوْلَا كَلَامٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ أُعَانِهِ قَالَ الْحَارِثُ فَقَالَ ابْنُ شَمَاسَةَ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ إِنَّهُ مَنْ عَلِمَ الرَّمْيَ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ تَرَكَهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا أَوْ قَدْ عَصَى  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated to me, or I say to you as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah admits into Paradise by a single arrow three individuals: the maker of the arrow, the one who sharpens it, and the one who shoots it. And throwing an arrow is more beloved to me than riding on a mount. And there are only three things from which there is no diversion from Allah: the training of a man on his horse, the playfulness of his wife, and his shooting with his arrows from his bow. And whoever learns how to shoot and then leaves it, then it is a grace that he has disbelieved in."  

حَدَّثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ أَقُولُ لَكَ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُدْخِلُ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ ثَلَاثَةَ نَفَرٍ الْجَنَّةَ صَانِعَهُ الَّذِي احْتَسَبَ فِي صَنْعَتِهِ الْخَيْرَ وَمُنْبِلَهُ وَالرَّامِيَ ارْمُوا وَارْكَبُوا وَإِنْ تَرْمُوا أَحَبُّ إِلِيَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوا وَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللهْوِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةٌ تَأْدِيبُ الرَّجُلِ فَرَسَهُ وَمُلَاعَبَتُهُ زَوْجَتَهُ وَرَمْيُهُ بِنَبْلِهِ عَنْ قَوْسِهِ وَمَنْ عَلِمَ الرَّمْيَ ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ فَهِيَ نِعْمَةٌ كَفَرَهَا وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] I heard the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ saying, "Indeed, Allah will enter the three (people) into Jannah with a single arrow, its maker, the one who shoots it, and the one who hands it over."  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَيُدْخِلُ الثَّلَاثَةَ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ الْجَنَّةَ صَانِعَهُ يَحْتَسِبُ بِصَنْعَتِهِ الْخَيْرَ وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ وَالْمُمِدَّ بِهِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Shoot and ride. I prefer that you shoot rather than ride. Everything that distracts a man from his duties is futile, except shooting with a bow, training his horse, or playing with his spouse, for these are from the truth. And whoever gives up shooting after having knowledge of it, he has disbelieved in what he knew. This is mentioned in the book of Ibn Yazid. And another person, Abdullah ibn Zaid, said..."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ارْمُوا وَارْكَبُوا وَأَنْ تَرْمُوا أَحَبُّ إِلِيَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوا وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ يَلْهُوَ بِهِ الرَّجُلُ بَاطِلٌ إِلَّا رَمْيَ الرَّجُلِ بِقَوْسِهِ أَوْ تَأْدِيبَهُ فَرَسَهُ أَوْ مُلَاعَبَتَهُ امْرَأَتَهُ فَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ الرَّمْيَ بَعْدَ مَا عَلِمَهُ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِي عَلِمَهُ كَذَا فِي كِتَابِ ابْنِ يَزِيدَ وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a man with a Persian bow, so he said, "Throw it away," and then he pointed to an Arabian bow and said, "With this and the spears of the Qana people, Allah will grant you victory in the lands and help you against your enemies." Muhammad ibn Talhah took sole responsibility for this, and in this chain of narration there is a gap, where it is said that Abdul Rahman ibn Uwaym does not have companionship. It is said about this narration chain as...  

أَبْصَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلًا مَعَهُ قَوْسٌ فَارِسِيَّةٌ فَقَالَ اطْرَحْهَا ثُمَّ أَشَارَ إِلَى الْقَوْسِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ فَقَالَ بِهَذِهِ وَرِمَاحِ الْقَنَا يُمَكِّنُ اللهُ لَكُمْ بِهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ وَيَنْصُرُكُمْ عَلَى عَدُوِّكُمْ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ وَفِيهِ انْقِطَاعٌ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُوَيْمٍ لَيْسَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ وَقِيلَ فِي هَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ كَمَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a Persian bow and said, "Cursed, cursed is the one who carries it among you." He pointed towards the Arabic bow and the Qanah spears and said, "Allah will enable you to conquer lands and will grant you victory over your enemies with these." Al-Bukhari said, "The hadith narrated by 'Utba ibn 'Uwaym is not authentic."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَأَى قَوْسًا فَارِسِيًّا فَقَالَ مَلْعُونٌ مَلْعُونٌ مَنْ حَمَلَهَا عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذِهِ وَأَشَارَ إِلَى الْقَوْسِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ وَبِرِمَاحِ الْقَنَا يُمَكِّنُ اللهُ لَكُمْ فِي الْبِلَادِ وَيَنْصُرُكُمْ عَلَى عَدُوِّكُمْ قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ عُوَيْمٍ لَمْ يَصِحَّ حَدِيثُهُ  

[Machine] On the day of Ghadir Khumm, the Prophet ﷺ covered me with a cloak and said, "Indeed, Allah has granted me on the day of Badr and Hunayn with angels who covered me with this cloak. And he said, "Verily, this cloak is a barrier between disbelief and faith." He saw a man throwing with a Persian bow and said, "Throw with it," then he looked at an Arabian bow and said, "Use this and its likeness, and the spears of the Qana, for indeed with these Allah enables you in the territories and supports you in victory." He is the disheveled one, Abu al-Rabi' al-Sammān, and he is not strong. Isma'il ibn 'Ayyash contradicted him. This was narrated by 'Abdullah ibn Busr from 'Abdullah ibn 'Adi from his brother 'Abd al-A'la from the Prophet ﷺ, who said it discontinuously. 'Abdullah ibn Busr is not strong. This was said by Abu Dawud al-Sijistani and others.  

عَمَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ بِعِمَامَةٍ سَدَلَهَا خَلْفِي ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ أَمَدَّنِي يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَحُنَيْنٍ بِمَلَائِكَةٍ يُعْتِمُونَ هَذِهِ الْعِمَّةَ وَقَالَ إِنَّ الْعِمَامَةَ حَاجِزَةٌ بَيْنَ الْكُفْرِ وَالْإِيمَانِ وَرَأَى رَجُلًا يَرْمِي بِقَوْسٍ فَارِسِيَّةٍ فَقَالَ ارْمِ بِهَا ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَى قَوْسٍ عَرَبِيَّةٍ فَقَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذِهِ وَأَمْثَالِهَا وَرِمَاحِ الْقَنَا فَإِنَّ بِهَذِهِ يُمَكِّنُ اللهُ لَكُمْ فِي الْبِلَادِ وَيُؤَيِّدُكُمْ فِي النَّصْرِ أَشْعَثُ هُوَ أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ السَّمَّانُ وَلَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ وَخَالَفَهُ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ فَرَوَاهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ هَذَا عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ الْبَهْرَانِيِّ عَنْ أَخِيهِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُنْقَطِعًا وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بُسْرٍ هَذَا لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ قَالَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ السِّجِسْتَانِيُّ وَغَيْرُهُ  

[Machine] And the Arabic bow, when its string is broken, it had a stick with which it would be bent. He said, they also had wooden spears, so when they stabbed with them, the wounded person would take it and break it. So he commanded them with the spears made of reed so that when a man stabbed, the wounded person would take it, it would bend and not break. And it was carried from Bahrain.  

وَأَنَّ الْقَوْسَ الْعَرَبِيَّةَ إِذَا انْقَطَعَ وَتَرُهَا كَانَتْ لَهُ عَصًا يَدِبُّ بِهَا قَالَ وَكَانَتْ مَعَهُمْ رِمَاحُ خَشَبٍ فَكَانُوا إِذَا طَعَنُوا بِهَا أَخَذَهَا الْمَطْعُونُ فَكَسَرَهَا فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِرِمَاحِ الْقَنَا لِكَيْ إِذَا طَعَنَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَخَذَهُ الْمَطْعُونُ انْثَنَى وَلَمْ يَنْكَسِرْ وَكَانَتْ تُحْمَلُ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ  

[Machine] They used to argue about various matters, but then an arrow from the west came and struck a young boy, killing him. The rest of the conversation was mentioned by Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Abdan who reported it from Ahmad ibn Ubayd, narrated by Muhammad ibn Ribh al-Bazzaz, who heard it from Abu Nuaim, who heard it from Sufyan, who heard it from Abdul Rahman ibn Al-Harith ibn Ayyash ibn Abi Rabiah, who heard it from Hakim ibn Hakim ibn Abbad ibn Hunayf, who heard it from Abu Umamah ibn Sahl ibn Hunayf. He said, "Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote to Abu Ubaidah and mentioned it."  

وَكَانُوا يَخْتَلِفُونَ بَيْنَ الْأَغْرَاضِ فَجَاءَ سَهْمُ غَرْبٍ فَأَصَابَ غُلَامًا فَقُتِلَ وَذَكَرَ بَاقِيَ الْحَدِيثِ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبَدَانَ أَنْبَأَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رِبْحٍ الْبَزَّازُ ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ قَالَ كَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ إِلَى أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ فَذَكَرَهُ  

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ said, 'My love is incumbent upon whoever seeks to reconcile between two disputing parties with my bow, not with the bow of Kisra.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ وَجَبَتْ مَحَبَّتِي عَلَى مَنْ سَعَى بَيْنَ الْغَرَضَيْنِ بِقَوْسِي لَا بِقَوْسِ كِسْرَى  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Everything that is not from the remembrance of Allah is a distraction and amusement, except for four things: walking between the targets, horse riding for training, learning swimming, and playing with one's family.' This was narrated by Ishaq bin Ibrahim Al-Hanzali from Muhammad bin Salama Al-Jazri."  

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ لَيْسَ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ فَهُوَ سَهْوٌ وَلَهْوٌ إِلَّا أَرْبَعًا مَشْيَ الرَّجُلِ بَيْنَ الْغَرَضَيْنِ وَتَأْدِيبَهُ فَرَسَهُ وَتَعَلُّمَهُ السِّبَاحَةَ وَمُلَاعَبَتَهُ أَهْلَهُ تَابَعَهُ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ الْجَزَرِيِّ  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, do children have rights over us, just as we have rights over them?" He replied, "Yes, the rights of the child over the parents are to teach him writing, swimming, and throwing, and to leave him with good morals." This is a weak Hadith narrated by Isa ibn Ibrahim al-Hashimi, from the remaining scholars who consider it to be a weak Hadith, weakened by Yahya ibn Ma'in, al-Bukhari, and others.  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلِلْوَلَدِ عَلَيْنَا حَقٌّ كَحَقِّنَا عَلَيْهِمْ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ حَقُّ الْوَلَدِ عَلَى الْوَالِدِ أَنْ يُعَلِّمَهُ الْكِتَابَةَ وَالسِّبَاحَةَ وَالرَّمْيَ وَأَنْ يُوَرِّثَهُ طَيِّبًا هَذَا حَدِيثٌ ضَعِيفٌ عِيسَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْهَاشِمِيُّ هَذَا مِنْ شُيُوخِ بَقِيَّةَ مُنْكَرُ الْحَدِيثِ ضَعَّفَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ وَالْبُخَارِيُّ وَغَيْرُهُمَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, or I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Goodness is tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Judgment." Sufyan said, and Mujalid added from Ash-Sha'bi, from Urwah Al-Barqi, "Both reward and booty (spoils of war) are mentioned." And Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us, narrating from Abu Al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, narrating from Ahmad ibn Shayban, narrating from Sufyan ibn Uyaynah, from Shabeeb ibn Ghorqadah, from Urwah Al-Barqi, and from Mujalid, from Ash-Sha'bi, from Urwah Al-Barqi who said: "The Prophet ﷺ mentioned the same."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْخَيْرُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِي الْخَيْلِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَزَادَ فِيهِ مُجَالِدٌ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ الْبَارِقِيِّ الْأَجْرَ وَالْمَغْنَمَ 19744 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ شَبِيبِ بْنِ غَرْقَدَةَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ الْبَارِقِيِّ وَعَنْ مُجَالِدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ الْبَارِقِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Keeping horses may be a source of reward to some (man), a shelter to another (i.e. means of earning one's living), or a burden to a third. He to whom the horse will be a source of reward is the one who keeps it in Allah's Cause (prepare it for holy battles) and ties it by a long rope in a pasture (or a garden). He will get a reward equal to what its long rope allows it to eat in the pasture or the garden, and if that horse breaks its rope and crosses one or two hills, then all its footsteps and its dung will be counted as good deeds for its owner; and if it passes by a river and drinks from it, then that will also be regarded as a good deed for its owner even if he has had no intention of watering it then. Horses are a shelter from poverty to the second person who keeps horses for earning his living so as not to ask others, and at the same time he gives Allah's right (i.e. rakʿat) (from the wealth he earns through using them in trading etc.,) and does not overburden them. He who keeps horses just out of pride and for showing off and as a means of harming the Muslims, his horses will be a source of sins to him." When Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about donkeys, he replied, "Nothing particular was revealed to me regarding them except the general unique verse which is applicable to everything: "Whoever does goodness equal to the weight of an atom (or small ant) shall see it (its reward) on the Day of Resurrection." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2371)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْخَيْلُ ثَلَاثَةٌ لِرَجُلٍ أَجْرٌ وَلِرَجُلٍ سِتْرٌ وَعَلَى رَجُلٍ وِزْرٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِي هُوَ لَهُ أَجْرٌ فَرَجُلٌ رَبَطَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَأَطَالَ لَهَا فِي مَرْجٍ أَوْ رَوْضَةٍ فَمَا أَصَابَتْ فِي طِيَلِهَا ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْمَرْجِ أَوِ الرَّوْضَةِ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَسَنَاتٍ وَلَوْ أَنَّهَا قَطَعَتْ طِيَلَهَا فَاسْتَنَّتْ شَرَفًا أَوْ شَرَفَيْنِ كَانَتْ آثَارُهَا وَأَرْوَاثُهَا حَسَنَاتٍ لَهُ وَلَوْ أَنَّهَا مَرَّتْ بِنَهَرٍ فَشَرِبَتْ مِنْهُ وَلَمْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يَسْقِيَهَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ حَسَنَاتٍ لَهُ وَرَجُلٌ رَبَطَهَا تَغَنِّيًا وَتَعَفُّفًا وَسِتْرًا ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنْسَ حَقَّ اللهِ فِي رِقَابِهَا وَلَا ظُهُورِهَا فَهِيَ لِذَلِكَ سِتْرٌ وَرَجُلٌ رَبَطَهَا فَخْرًا وَرِئَاءً وَنِوَاءً لِأَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَهِيَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وِزْرٌ وَسُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْحُمُرِ فَقَالَ مَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيَّ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ إِلَّا هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ الْجَامِعَةُ الْفَاذَّةُ {فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ} [الزلزلة 8]  

[Machine] Narrated by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed by Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz, who was informed by Abu Muhammad Al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn Halim, who was narrated by Abu Al-Muwwajih, who was narrated by Abdan, who was informed by Abdullah, who was informed by Talhah ibn Abi Saeed that he heard Sa'id Al-Maqburi saying that he heard Abu Hurairah saying that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever withholds a horse in the cause of Allah, believing in Allah and affirming His promise, his stomach, provision, urine, and manure will be counted as good deeds on the Day of Judgment." According to another narration by Ibn Wahb: "believing in Allah and affirming the promise of Allah."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَلِيمٍ ثنا أَبُو الْمُوَجِّهِ ثنا عَبْدَانُ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ أنبأ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدًا الْمَقْبُرِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنِ احْتَبَسَ فَرَسًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ إِيمَانًا بِاللهِ وَتَصْدِيقًا بِمَوْعُودِهِ كَانَ شِبَعُهُ وَرِيُّهُ وَبَوْلُهُ وَرَوَثُهُ حَسَنَاتٍ فِي مِيزَانِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ إِيمَانًا بِاللهِ وَتَصْدِيقَ مَوْعُودِ اللهِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Wagers are allowed only for racing camels, or horses or shooting arrows. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2574)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا سَبَقَ إِلَّا فِي خُفٍّ أَوْ حَافِرٍ أَوْ نَصْلٍ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Wagers are allowed only for racing camels, or horses or shooting arrows. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2574)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا سَبْقَ إِلَّا فِي خُفٍّ أَوْ نَصْلٍ أَوْ حَافِرٍ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Wagers are allowed only for racing camels, or horses or shooting arrows. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2574)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا سَبَقَ إِلَّا فِي نَصْلٍ أَوْ حَافِرٍ أَوْ خُفٍّ  

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ said, 'There is no superiority except in a thoroughbred horse or a good pair of shoes.' Al-Bukhari mentioned in his history that 'Abdur-Rahman ibn Shaybah told me that Ibn Abi Al-Fudayk informed him, mentioning the hadith of 'Abbad ibn Abi Saleh, and he said, 'There is no superiority except in a sword, a thoroughbred horse, or a good pair of shoes.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا سَبَقَ إِلَّا فِي حَافِرٍ أَوْ خُفٍّ قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي التَّارِيخِ قَالَ لِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ شَيْبَةَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي الْفُدَيْكِ فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثَ عَبَّادِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ وَقَالَ إِلَّا فِي نَصْلٍ أَوْ حَافِرٍ أَوْ خُفٍّ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no preeminence except in a pair of sandals or a hoof." Muhammad ibn Amr said, "They say or a sword followed by Yazid ibn Harun." It is also mentioned from Abu Abdullah, the master of the Jundabians, from Abu Hurairah with a similar meaning.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا سَبَقَ إِلَّا فِي خُفٍّ أَوْ حَافِرٍ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو يَقُولُونَ أَوْ نَصْلٍ تَابَعَهُ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ مَوْلَى الْجُنْدَعِيِّينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ نَحْوَهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ rode the horse that was prepared for him from Al-Hafya to Thaniyat Al-Wada', and he rode the horse that was not prepared for him from Thaniyat to Masjid Bani Zuraiq. And Ibn Umar was among those who rode ahead of him, narrating a hadith from Yahya.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَابَقَ بِالْخَيْلِ الَّتِي قَدْ أُضْمِرَتْ مِنَ الْحَفْيَا إِلَى ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَسَابَقَ بِالْخَيْلِ الَّتِي لَمْ تُضَمَّرْ مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فِيمَنْ سَابَقَ بِهَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى  

"The Messenger of Allah had a she-camel called Al-'Adba' which could not be beaten. One day a Bedouin came on a riding-camel and beat her (in a race). The Muslims were upset by that, and when he saw the expressions on their faces they said: 'O Messenger of Allah, Al-'Adba' has been beaten.' He said: 'It is a right upon Allah that nothing is raised in this world except He lowers it.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3588)   

كَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَاقَةٌ تُسَمَّى الْعَضْبَاءَ لَا تُسْبَقُ فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَى قَعُودٍ لَهُ فَسَبَقَهَا فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ سُبِقَتِ الْعَضْبَاءُ قَالَ إِنَّ حَقًّا عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ لَا يَرْفَعَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا وَضَعَهُ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by some people from the tribe of Aslam practicing archery. He said, "O children of Ishmael! Throw (arrows), for your father was an archer. I am on the side of Bani so-andso," meaning one of the two teams. The other team stopped throwing, whereupon the Prophet ﷺ said, "What has happened to them?" They replied, "How shall we throw while you are with Bani so-andso?" He said, "Throw for I am with all of you." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3507)   

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى قَوْمٍ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ يَتَنَاضَلُونَ بِالسُّوقِ فَقَالَ ارْمُوا يَا بَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ فَإِنَّ أَبَاكُمْ كَانَ رَامِيًا وَأَنَا مَعَ بَنِي فُلَانٍ لِأَحَدِ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ فَأَمْسَكُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ قَالَ مَا لَكُمُ؟ ارْمُوا قَالُوا وَكَيْفَ نَرْمِي وَأَنْتَ مَعَ بَنِي فُلَانٍ؟ قَالَ ارْمُوا وَأَنَا مَعَكُمْ كُلُّكُمْ  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ عَلَى نَاسٍ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ يَتَنَاضَلُونَ قَالَ حَسَنٌ لَهَذَا اللهْوُ مَرَّتَيْنِ ارْمُوا فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ لَكُمْ أَبٌ يَرْمِي ارْمُوا وَأَنَا مَعَ ابْنِ الْأَدْرَعِ قَالَ فَأَمْسَكَ الْقَوْمُ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فَقَالَ مَالَكُمْ؟ فَقَالُوا لَا وَاللهِ لَا نَرْمِي وَأَنْتَ مَعَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِذًا يُنَضِلُنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ارْمُوا وَأَنَا مَعَكُمْ جَمِيعًا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَمَوْا عَامَّةَ يَوْمِهِمْ ثُمَّ تَفَرَّقُوا عَلَى السَّوَاءِ مَا نَضِلَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا  

[Machine] While the Habasha (Ethiopians) were playing near the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with their spears, Umar entered and leaned towards the rocks. They threw stones at him and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Leave them, Umar."  

بَيْنَا الْحَبَشَةُ يَلْعَبُونَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِحِرَابِهِمْ دَخَلَ عُمَرُ فَأَهْوَى إِلَى الْحَصْبَاءِ فَحَصَبَهُمْ بِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دَعْهُمْ يَا عُمَرُ  

[Machine] "We participated in a raid with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he mentioned a statement. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ walked ahead of me, and I followed him on the back of the horse. When we approached Madinah, while we were moving forward, there was a man from the Ansar who was not known for his speed. He kept saying, 'Is there anyone who can compete with me to reach Madinah?' He repeated this several times. When I heard his words, I said to him, 'Are you not willing to honor a noble person and not fear a person of noble descent?' He said, 'Only if the Messenger of Allah ﷺ permits you.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, may my parents be sacrificed for you. Please allow me so that I can compete with him.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If you wish.' So, I spurred my horse and raced ahead, surpassing him with one or two throes. When I caught up with him, I struck him between his shoulders and said, 'I have surpassed you, by Allah!' He said, 'I think you are right.' Then, I raced him to Madinah."  

غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ فَأَرْدَفَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَرَاءَهُ عَلَى الْعَضْبَاءِ فَأَقْبَلْتُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَسُوقُ وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَا يُسْبَقُ شَدًّا فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ أَلَا مِنْ مُسَابِقٍ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ هَلْ مِنْ مُسَابِقٍ؟ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا فَلَمَّا سَمِعْتُ كَلَامَهُ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَمَا تُكْرِمُ كَرِيمًا وَلَا تَهَابُ شَرِيفًا؟ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي ائْذَنْ لِي فَلْأُسَابِقِ الرَّجُلَ قَالَ إِنْ شِئْتَ قَالَ فَطَفَرْتُ ثُمَّ عَدَوْتُ شَرَفًا أَوْ شَرَفَيْنِ ثُمَّ إِنِّي تَرَفَّعْتُ حِينَ لَحِقْتُهُ فَأَصْطَكُّهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ سُبِقْتَ وَاللهِ قَالَ إِنْ أَظُنُّ قَالَ فَسَبَقْتُهُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ  

[Machine] She was with the Prophet ﷺ on a trip while she was a servant girl. He said to his companions, "Go ahead," so they went ahead. Then he said, "Come forward, let me race you." So, I raced him and I outran him on my feet. When it was later, I went out with him on a trip, and he said to his companions, "Go ahead," so they went ahead. Then he said, "Come forward, let me race you." And I forgot the previous incident, and I had meat with me, so I said, "How can I race you, O Messenger of Allah, while I am in this state?" He said, "You will do it." So, I raced him and he outran me. Then he said, "This is for that previous race."  

كَانَتْ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ وَهِيَ جَارِيَةٌ فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ تَقَدَّمُوا فَتَقَدَّمُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ تَعَالِ أُسَابِقْكِ فَسَابَقْتُهُ فَسَبَقْتُهُ عَلَى رِجْلِيَّ فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدُ خَرَجْتُ أَيْضًا مَعَهُ فِي سَفَرٍ فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ تَقَدَّمُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ تَعَالِ أُسَابِقْكِ وَنَسِيتُ الَّذِي كَانَ وَقَدْ حَمَلْتُ اللَّحْمَ فَقُلْتُ وَكَيْفَ أُسَابِقُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَأَنَا عَلَى هَذِهِ الْحَالِ؟ فَقَالَ لَتَفْعَلِنَّ فَسَابَقْتُهُ فَسَبَقَنِي فَقَالَ هَذِهِ بِتِلْكَ السَّبْقَةِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was on a journey, and I raced ahead of him on foot. When I picked up the meat, I raced ahead of him and he raced ahead of me. He said, "This is in return for that race." This narration was also reported by Abu Usama from Hisham from a man from Abu Salama from Aisha. It was also narrated by Jarir from Hisham bin Urwa from his father from Aisha.  

النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَسَابَقْتُهُ فَسَبَقْتُهُ عَلَى رِجْلِيَّ فَلَمَّا حَمَلْتُ اللَّحْمَ سَابَقْتُهُ فَسَبَقَنِي فَقَالَ هَذِهِ بِتِلْكَ السَّبْقَةِ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ وَرَوَاهُ جَرِيرٌ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to the youth of the Ansar every year and anyone who reached them would join. He said, "I was presented for a year, and a boy joined me, but he outmatched me and I said, 'O Messenger of Allah! You have matched him against me, and he has outmatched me. If I had wrestled him, I would have defeated him.' He said, 'Wrestle him, then.' So I wrestled him and defeated him, and I threw him to the ground. Abu Dawud narrated it in Al-Marasil, from Musa ibn Ismail, from Hamad ibn Salamah, from Amr ibn Dinar, from Sa'id ibn Jubair, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in Al-Bat-ha and Yazid ibn Rukanah or Rukanah ibn Yazid came to him, accompanied by A'nuz. He said to him, 'O Muhammad! Can you wrestle with me?' He said, 'Do you want to precede me?' He said, 'I have a sheep from my flock, so wrestle with it.' He wrestled it and defeated it, and he took the sheep. Rukanah asked him, 'Do you want to have a return match?' He said, 'Do you want to precede me?' He said, 'There is another one.' He mentioned that repeatedly. He said, 'O Muhammad! I swear by Allah, no one has put me down to the ground, and you are the one who knocks me down.' Then he embraced Islam, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned his sheep to him." Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad informed us, and Abu Al-Husayn Al-Fasawi narrated to us, from Abu Ali Al-Lu'lu'i, from Abu Dawud, and he mentioned it and it is a good narration. And it has been narrated with another chain of transmission, except that it is weak. And Allah knows best.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْرِضُ غِلْمَانَ الْأَنْصَارِ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ فَيُلْحِقُ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ وَعُرِضْتُ عَامًا فَأَلْحَقَ غُلَامًا وَرَدَّنِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولُ اللهِ لَقَدْ أَلْحَقْتَهُ وَرَدَدْتَنِي وَلَوْ صَارَعْتُهُ لَصَرَعْتُهُ قَالَ فَصَارِعْهُ فَصَارَعْتُهُ فَصَرَعْتُهُ فَأَلْحَقَنِي 19761 وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ فِي الْمَرَاسِيلِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ فَأَتَى عَلَيْهِ يَزِيدُ بْنُ رُكَانَةَ أَوْ رُكَانَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ وَمَعَهُ أَعْنُزٌ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تُصَارِعَنِي؟ فَقَالَ مَا تَسْبِقُنِي قَالَ شَاةٌ مِنْ غَنَمِي فَصَارَعَهُ فَصَرَعَهُ فَأَخَذَ شَاةً قَالَ رُكَانَةُ هَلْ لَكَ فِي الْعَوْدِ؟ قَالَ مَا تَسْبِقُنِي ؟ قَالَ أُخْرَى ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَاللهِ مَا وَضَعَ أَحَدٌ جَنْبِي إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَمَا أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَصْرَعُنِي يَعْنِي فَأَسْلَمَ وَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَنَمَهُ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ الْفَسَوِيُّ ثنا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ اللُّؤْلُؤِيُّ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ فَذَكَرَهُ وَهُوَ مُرْسَلٌ جَيِّدٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ بِإِسْنَادٍ آخَرَ مَوْصُولًا إِلَّا أَنَّهُ ضَعِيفٌ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ followed a pigeon, and then Satan said, "He follows a pigeon just as he follows his partner." He contradicted in what was narrated from him, so Muhammad ibn Amr narrated from Abu Salamah, who narrated from Aisha. And the hadith of Hammad is the most authentic, and Allah knows best. Umar ibn Hamza narrated from Husayn ibn Mus'ab, who said, "Abu Hurayrah disliked betting with two pigeons."  

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلًا يَتْبَعُ حَمَامَةً فَقَالَ شَيْطَانٌ يَتْبَعُ شَيْطَانَةً خَالَفَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِيمَا رُوِيَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ وَحَدِيثُ حَمَّادٍ أَصَحُّ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ وَرَوَى عُمَرُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ مُصْعَبٍ قَالَ كَرِهَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ التَّرَاهُنَ بِالْحَمَامَتَيْنِ  

[Machine] Allah ﷺ rode ahead among the horses, sending them from Al-Hafya. The furthest point is Thaniyat Al-Wada' (a location), and Allah ﷺ rode ahead among the horses that were not enclosed. The furthest point for them was from Thaniyat to Masjid Bani Zuraiq. Abdullah Ibn Umar was the first to mention the hadith of Ibn Qatadah and the hadith of Abu Abdullah regarding the horses that were not enclosed. He did not mention what came before it (the passage references a specific number, 19764). Abu Amr Al-Adib narrated to us that Abu Bakr Al-Isma'ili informed him that Al-Firyabi reported to him, who was informed by Qutaybah, who was informed by Al-Laith Ibn Sa'd, and he mentioned it with its complete chain of narration.  

اللهِ ﷺ سَابَقَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ يُرْسِلُهَا مِنَ الْحَفْيَاءِ وَكَانَ أَمَدُهَا ثَنِيَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ وَسَابَقَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ الَّتِي لَمْ تُضَمَّرْ وَكَانَ أَمَدُهَا مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ وَأَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ؓ كَانَ سَابَقَ بِهَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ قَتَادَةَ وَحَدِيثُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ فِي الَّتِي لَمْ تُضَمَّرْ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ مَا قَبْلَهُ 19764 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ أنبأ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ ثنا قُتَيْبَةُ ثنا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلَهُ بِتَمَامِهِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ rode the hidden horses from Al-Hafya to Thaniyah Al-Wada' and then he rode the unharnessed horses from Thaniyah to the Mosque of Bani Zuraiq.  

أَجْرَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا ضُمِّرَ مِنَ الْخَيْلِ مِنَ الْحَفْيَاءِ إِلَى ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَأَجْرَى مَا لَمْ يُضَمَّرْ مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saddled the horses and sent them from al-Hafiyya, and all of them were saddled except for one which he sent from Thaniyya to the Mosque of Bani Zuraiq.  

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ضَمَّرَ الْخَيْلَ وَأَرْسَلَهَا مِنَ الْحَفْيَاءِ وَمَا كَانَ مِنْهَا غَيْرَ مُضَمَّرٍ أَرْسَلَهُ مِنْ ثَنِيَّةَ كَذَا إِلَى مَسْجِدِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ  

[Machine] Allah's messenger, ﷺ , rode ahead between the horses, and he made the endpoint of the hidden valleys from Al-Hafya to Thaniyyat al-Wada'. And what was not hidden in Thaniyyat to the Mosque of Bani Zuraiq. Ibn Umar said, "I came ahead, and the horse carried me lightly around the mosque." The words are attributed to the Hadith of Ibn Harb.  

اللهِ ﷺ سَبَقَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ فَجَعَلَ غَايَةَ الْمُضَمَّرَاتِ مِنَ الْحَفْيَا إِلَى ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَمَا لَمْ يُضَمَّرْ مِنَ الثَّنِيَّةِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ جِئْتُ سَابِقًا فَطَفَّفَ بِيَ الْفَرَسُ الْمَسْجِدَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ حَرْبٍ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was riding a horse that had been prepared for him. He sent it from Al-Hafiya and its journey took two or three days. I asked Musa, "How far is it?" He said, "Six or seven miles." And there were horses that were not prepared, but he sent them from Masjid Bani Zuraiq and their journey took a mile or so. Ibn Umar said that he was among those who preceded the horses.  

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ الَّتِي أُضْمِرَتْ فَأَرْسَلَهَا مِنَ الْحَفْيَاءِ وَكَانَ أَمَدُهَا ثَنِيَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ فَقُلْتُ لِمُوسَى وَكَمْ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ سِتَّةُ أَمْيَالٍ أَوْ سَبْعَةٌ وَسَبَقَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ الَّتِي لَمْ تُضَمَّرْ فَأَرْسَلَهَا مِنْ ثَنِيَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ وَكَانَ أَمَدُهَا مَسْجِدَ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ قُلْتُ وَكَمْ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ مِيلٌ أَوْ نَحْوُهُ؟ قَالَ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ مِمَّنْ سَابَقَ فِيهَا  

[Machine] The horses used to run for six miles, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave the leading horse to Hammad bin Sulaiman. This is an unknown horse.  

الْخَيْلَ كَانَتْ تَجْرِي مِنْ سِتَّةِ أَمْيَالٍ فَتَسْبِقُ فَأَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ السَّابِقَ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ هَذَا مَجْهُولٌ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: If one enters a horse with two others when he is not certain that it cannot be beaten, it is not gambling; but when one enters a horse with two others when he is certain it cannot be beaten, it is gambling. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2579)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَدْخَلَ فَرَسًا بَيْنَ فَرَسَيْنِ وَقَدْ أَمِنَ أَنْ يَسْبِقَ فَهُوَ قِمَارٌ وَمَنْ أَدْخَلَ فَرَسًا بَيْنَ فَرَسَيْنِ وَهُوَ لَا يَأْمَنُ أَنْ يَسْبِقَ فَلَيْسَ بِقِمَارٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever enters a horse between two horses and is not afraid of being left behind, then it is gambling. And whoever enters a horse between two horses and is afraid of being left behind, then it is not gambling." This was specifically mentioned by Sufyan ibn Husayn and Sa'id ibn Bashir from Az-Zuhri, and it was narrated by Abu Dawood in his book of Sunan.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَدْخَلَ فَرَسًا بَيْنَ فَرَسَيْنِ وَهُوَ لَا يَخَافُ أَنْ يُسْبَقَ فَهُوَ قِمَارٌ وَمَنْ أَدْخَلَ فَرَسًا بَيْنَ فَرَسَيْنِ وَهُوَ يَخَافُ أَنْ يُسْبَقَ فَلَيْسَ بِقِمَارٍ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَقَدْ أَخْرَجَهُمَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ فِي كِتَابِ السُّنَنِ  

[Machine] He heard Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib saying, "There is no harm in betting on horses if a gambler is involved. If he wins, he takes the lead, and if he loses, there is no harm upon him."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ بِرِهَانِ الْخَيْلِ بَأْسٌ إِذَا أُدْخِلَ فِيهَا مُحَلِّلٌ فَإِنْ سَبَقَ أَخَذَ السَّبْقَ وَإِنْ سُبِقَ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ  

[Machine] Regarding the scholars who follow the opinion of the people of Madinah, they used to say that gambling on horses is permissible if it contains equal conditions. If one takes precedence, they will receive compensation, and if they are overtaken, they will not be fined. It is necessary for the compensator to be similar to the horse in terms of speed and strength.  

عَنِ الْفُقَهَاءِ الَّذِينَ يُنْتَهَى إِلَى قَوْلِهِمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ الرِّهَانُ فِي الْخَيْلِ جَائِزٌ إِذَا أُدْخِلَ فِيهَا مُحَلِّلٌ إِنْ سَبَقَ أَخَذَ وَإِنْ سُبِقَ لَمْ يَغْرَمْ شَيْئًا وَيَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَكُونَ الْمُحَلِّلُ شَبِيهًا بِالْخَيْلِ فِي النَّجَاءِ وَالْجَوْدَةِ  

[Machine] The judge Ibn Ayyub sent his horse one day. We said if we could meet Anas ibn Malik, so we met him and asked him, "Did you gamble on the covenant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" He said, "Yes, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gambled on a horse called Subhah, which came first, so he liked it and its meaning."  

أَرْسَلَ الْحَكَمُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الْخَيْلَ يَوْمًا قُلْنَا لَوْ أَتَيْنَا أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ أَكُنْتُمْ تُرَاهِنُونَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ لَقَدْ رَاهَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهَا سُبْحَةُ جَاءَتْ سَابِقَةً فَهَشَّ لِذَلِكَ وَأَعْجَبَهُ وَبِمَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] We do not know of any prayer better in the sight of Allah than the congregational prayer of Fajr on Friday. They asked him, "O Abu Abdur Rahman, do you used to take a bet during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" He said, "Yes, we used to bet on a horse called Subhah (Morning) and it would come first." Ismail said, "Sulayman bin Harb narrated to us this Hadith from Hammad bin Zaid, then Hammad bin Zaid said after that, or Sa'id bin Zaid said, 'The sheikh narrated and Ahmad bin Sa'id ad-Darimi narrated it from Sulayman bin Harb from Hammad bin Zaid without any doubt.' Asad bin Musa also narrated it from Hammad bin Zaid. The sheikh said, 'And if this is authentic, then what they intended was that if one of the two horses preceded the other, its owner would win the bet, and Allah knows best."  

بَخٍ بَخٍ مَا نَعْلَمُ صَلَاةً أَفْضَلَ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ جَمَاعَةً يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَكُنْتُمْ تُرَاهِنُونَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ لَقَدْ رَاهَنَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهَا سُبْحَةُ فَجَاءَتْ سَابِقَةً قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ كَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَوْ سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَرَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَكٍّ وَرَوَاهُ أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَهَذَا إِنْ صَحَّ فَإِنَّمَا أَرَادَا إِذَا سَبَقَ أَحَدُ الْفَارِسَيْنِ صَاحِبَهُ فَيَكُونُ السَّبَقُ مِنْهُ دُونَ صَاحِبِهِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] So, I saw my father Obaidah jumping while he was riding behind on an Arabian horse.  

فَرَأَيْتُ عَقِيصَتَيْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ تَنْقُزَانِ وَهُوَ خَلْفَهُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ عَرَبِيٍّ  

[Machine] Narrated Ibn Mas'ud: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Horses are of three types: a horse owned by the Most Merciful, a horse owned by Satan, and a horse owned by humans. As for the horse owned by the Most Merciful, its dung and urine will be weighed in its favor on the Day of Judgment. As for the horse owned by Satan, it is the one that is gambled upon. And as for the horse owned by humans, it is the one that is tied with the intention of seeking sustenance and fearing poverty. If it is established that they participated in a race and did not enter them both as companions, it would be considered gambling, and it is not permissible. And Allah knows best."  

عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْخَيْلُ ثَلَاثَةٌ فَرَسٌ لِلرَّحْمَنِ وَفَرَسٌ لِلشَّيْطَانِ وَفَرَسٌ لِلْإِنْسَانِ فَأَمَّا فَرَسُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَالَّذِي يَرْتَبِطُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ رَوَثُهُ وَبَوْلُهُ فِي مِيزَانِهِ وَأَمَّا فَرَسُ الشَّيْطَانِ فَالَّذِي يُرَاهِنُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَمَّا فَرَسُ الْإِنْسَانِ فَالَّذِي يَرْتَبِطُهَا يَلْتَمِسُ بَطْنَهَا مَخَافَةَ الْفَقْرِ وَهَذَا إِنْ ثَبَتَ فَإِنَّمَا أَرَادَ بِهِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَا سَبَقَيْنِ مِنْ عِنْدِهِمَا وَلَمْ يُدْخِلَا بَيْنَهُمَا مُحَلِّلًا فَيَكُونُ قِمَارًا فَلَا يَجُوزُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'There is no pre-marital intercourse, nor impurity in a vow (i.e. a man's oath swearing he will enjoy his wife)'. This is the wording of the hadith narrated by Anbasah, and in another narration by Humayd, 'There is no impurity, nor pre-marital intercourse, nor shaving the pubic hair in Islam'."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا جَلَبَ وَلَا جَنَبَ فِي الرِّهَانِ هَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ عَنْبَسَةَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ حُمَيْدٍ لَا جَنَبَ وَلَا جَلَبَ وَلَا شِغَارَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ  

Qatadah said “Taking another horse behind one’s horse to urge it on and taking another horse at one’s side are (done) in a horse race. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2582)   

الْجَلَبُ وَالْجَنَبُ فِي الرِّهَانِ  

[Machine] So if the horse falls behind in the race, something is moved behind it to stimulate it and make it run faster. This is called a whip. As for the side, it is avoided with the horse that is being raced until the rider turns onto the other controlled horse. Then he takes the lead.  

فَأَنْ يَتَخَلَّفَ الْفَرَسُ فِي السِّبَاقِ فَيُحَرَّكَ وَرَاءَهُ الشَّيْءُ يُسْتَحَثُّ بِهِ فيَسَبِقُ فَهَذَا الْجَلَبُ وَأَمَّا الْجَنَبُ فَإِنَّهُ يُجْنَبُ مَعَ الْفَرَسِ الَّذِي يُسَابِقُ بِهِ فَرَسٌ آخَرُ حَتَّى إِذَا دَنَى تَحَوَّلَ رَاكِبُهُ عَلَى الْفَرَسِ الْمَجْنُوبِ فَأَخَذَ السَّبْقَ  

[Machine] It was reported that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said to Ali, "O Ali, I have granted you this distinction among the people." Ali then left and called Suraqah bin Malik and said to him, "O Suraqah, I have granted you what the Prophet ﷺ has granted me in terms of this distinction. When you reach the Mitaar, say 'Is there anyone in need of prayer or carrying a child or relieving themselves?'" If no one responds, then say the Takbeer (Allahu Akbar) three times, and at the third time, release it. Whoever Allah pleases among His creation will be pleased with his distinction. Ali would sit at the end of Mitaar and draw a line which would serve as a reference point for two men sitting opposite each other with the ends of the line between their big toes. The horses would pass between the two men, and when one horse comes out in front of its rider from the side of its ear or ear fuzz, then give him the lead. If you are doubtful, then give the lead to both horses equally. When you pair the two things, then let the end of the line be from the end of the smaller of the two things. In Islam, there should be no pulling or dragging or competition. This narrations has a weak chain of narration.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ ؓ يَا عَلِيُّ قَدْ جَعَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ هَذِهِ السَّبْقَةَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَخَرَجَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ فَدَعَا سُرَاقَةَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ يَا سُرَاقَةُ إِنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ مَا جَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي عُنُقِي مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّبْقَةِ فِي عُنُقِكَ فَإِذَا أَتَيْتَ الْمِيطَارَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَالْمِيطَارُ مَرْسَلُهَا مِنَ الْغَايَةِ فَصُفَّ الْخَيْلَ اللَّهَ ثُمَّ نَادِ هَلْ مُصْلٍ لِلِجَامِ أَوْ حَامِلٍ لِغُلَامٍ أَوْ طَارِحٍ لِجِلٍّ فَإِذَا لَمْ يُجِبْكَ أَحَدٌ فَكَبِّرْ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ خَلِّهَا عِنْدَ الثَّالِثَةِ يُسْعِدِ اللهُ بِسَبَقِهِ مَنْ شَاءُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ يَقْعُدُ عِنْدَ مُنْتَهَى الْغَايَةِ وَيَخُطُّ خَطًّا يُقِيمُ رَجُلَيْنِ مُتَقَابِلَيْنِ عِنْدَ طَرَفِ الْخَطِّ طَرَفُهُ بَيْنَ إِبْهَامِ أَرْجُلِهِمَا وَتَمُرُّ الْخَيْلُ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ وَيَقُولُ لَهُمَا إِذَا أَخْرَجَ أَحَدُ الْفَرَسَيْنِ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ بِطَرَفِ أُذُنَيْهِ أَوْ أُذُنٍ أَوْ عِذَارٍ فَاجْعَلُوا السَّبْقَةَ لَهُ فَإِنْ شَكَكْتُمَا فَاجْعَلُوا سَبْقَهُمَا نِصْفَيْنِ فَإِذَا قَرَنْتُمُ الشَّيْئَيْنِ فَاجْعَلُوا الْغَايَةَ مِنْ غَايَةِ أَصْغَرِ الشَّيْئَيْنِ وَلَا جَلَبَ وَلَا جَنَبَ وَلَا شِغَارَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ ضَعِيفٌ
