ʿAbdullah said, "The Prophet ﷺ arranged for a horse race, and the prepared horses were given less food for a few days before the race to win the race, and were allowed to run from Al-Hafya to Thaniyat-al- Wadaʿ, and the unprepared horses were allowed to run between Thaniyat-al-Wadaʿ and the mosque of Bani Zuraiq," ʿAbdullah was one of those who participated in the race.
سَابَقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ فَأُرْسِلَتِ الَّتِي ضُمِّرَتْ مِنْهَا وَأَمَدُهَا إِلَى الْحَفْيَاءِ إِلَى ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَالَّتِي لَمْ تُضَمَّرْ أَمَدُهَا ثَنِيَّةُ الْوَدَاعِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ وَأَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ كَانَ فِيمَنْ سَابَقَ حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ عَنْ لَيْثٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ
