Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that when he found one of his family playing dice he beat him and destroyed the dice. Yahya said that he heard Malik say, "There is no good in chess, and he disapproved of it." Yahya said, "I heard him disapprove of playing it and other worthless games. He recited this ayat, 'What is there after the truth except going the wrong way.' " (Sura l0 ayat)

وحدثني عن مالك، عن نافع، عن عبد الله بن عمر، انه كان اذا وجد احدا من اهله يلعب بالنرد ضربه وكسرها . قال يحيى وسمعت مالكا يقول لا خير في الشطرنج . وكرهها وسمعته يكره اللعب بها وبغيرها من الباطل ويتلو هذه الاية {فماذا بعد الحق الا الضلال}
