[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."  

البيهقي:١٩٧٧٤أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ الْقَاضِي ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْخِرِّيتِ عَنْ أَبِي لَبِيدٍ قَالَ

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  

رَوَاهُ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ وَعَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ

[Machine] "We came to the gathering, and when the horses arrived, we said, 'Let's go to Anas ibn Malik and ask him: Did you witness the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , making bets?' So we went to him while he was in his palace in the corner and we asked him, 'O Abu Hamzah, did you witness the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , making bets? Did the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , ever bet?' He said, 'Yes, by Allah, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , indeed made bets on his horses, which were known as Sabaha, and he outraced the people and was delighted with that.'"

فَأَتَيْنَا الرِّهَانَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَتِ الْخَيْلُ قُلْنَا لَوْ مِلْنَا إِلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ أَكُنْتُمْ تُرَاهِنُونَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ وَهُوَ فِي قَصْرِهِ فِي الزَّاوِيَةِ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ فَقُلْنَا يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ أَكُنْتُمْ تُرَاهِنُونَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُرَاهِنُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ رَاهَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى فَرَسٍلَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ سَبْحَةٌ فَسَبَقَ النَّاسَ فَانْتَشَى لِذَلِكَ وَأَعْجَبَهُ

[Machine] The horses were sent during the time of Al-Hajjaj, and we said, "If only we had brought the watches." He said, "So we brought them to him." Then we said, "If only we had asked Anas ibn Malik." So we asked him, "Did you used to bet on the covenant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" He said, "So we went to him and asked him, and he said, 'Yes, indeed, he bet on a horse that was called Subhah, and he surpassed the people, and they were amazed by that.'"
