وَأَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ بِشْرَانَ، أَنَا ابْنُ صَفْوَانَ، أَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي الدُّنْيَا، ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سُرَيْجُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ
قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ نَافِعٍ عَنِ الشَّطْرَنْجِ وَالنَّرْدُ؟ فَقَالَ: " مَا أَدْرَكْتُ أَحَدًا مِنْ عُلَمَائِنَا إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَكْرَهُهَا " هَكَذَا كَانَ مَالِكٌ يَقُولُ. قَالَ شُرَيْحٌ: وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ شَهَادَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ: لَا تُقْبَلُ شَهَادَتُهُمْ وَلَا كَرَامَةَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ يُخْفِي ذَلِكَ وَلَا يُعْلِنُهُ هَكَذَا كَانَ مَالِكٌ يَقُولُ: وَكَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ فِي الْغِنَاءِ وَلَا تُقْبَلُ لَهُمْ شَهَادَةٌ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: " مَا لَا خِلَافَ فِي تَحْرِيمِهِ وَهُوَ النَّرْدُ فَإِنَّا نَرُدُّ شَهَادَةَ مَنْ لَعِبَ بِهِ وَمَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي تَحْرِيمِهِ وَهُوَ الشَّطْرَنْجُ فَإِنَّا لَا نَرُدُّ شَهَادَةَ مَنْ لَعِبَ بِهِ عَلَى الِاسْتِحْلَالِ لَهُ إِذَا لَمْ يُقَامَرُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَغْفُلْ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فَيَكْثُرُ وَأَمَّا كَرَاهِيَةُ اللَّعِبِ بِهِ فَقَدْ نَصَّ الشَّافِعِيُّ عَلَيْهَا وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ "

He said: I asked ʿAbdullāh b. Nāfiʿ about chess and backgammon. He said: "I did not meet any of our scholars except that he disliked them." Thus Mālik used to say. Shurayḥ said: And I asked him about their testimony, and he said: Their testimony is not accepted, and there is no honor for them, unless he hides that and does not make it public. Thus Mālik used to say; and likewise was his statement about singing, and no testimony is accepted from them. The Shaykh said: "As for what there is no disagreement about its prohibition, which is backgammon, we reject the testimony of whoever plays it. And as for what they disagreed about its prohibition, which is chess, we do not reject the testimony of whoever plays it considering it lawful, if he does not gamble on it and is not heedless of the prayer by playing it excessively. As for disliking playing it, al-Shāfiʿī has stated it explicitly, and with Allah is success."
