٦٢۔ كِتَابُ السَّبْقِ وَالرَّمْيِ
[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
