If anyone plays backgammon, he sinks his hand in the flesh of swine and its blood. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4939)   

ابن حبّان:٥٨٧٣أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الثَّوْرِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ لَعِبَ بِالنَّرْدِ فَكَأَنَّمَا غَمَسَ يَدَهُ فِي لَحْمِ خِنْزِيرٍ وَدَمِهِ»
