"عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ أَبِى عَمَّار: أَنَّ عَلِيًّا مَرَّ بقَوْمٍ يَلْعَبُونَ بِالشطرَنج، فَرَبَتَ عَلَيْهمْ، فَقَالَ أَمَا وَالله لِغَيْرِ هَذَا خُلِقْتُمْ، وَلَوْلَا أَنْ يَكُونَ سُنَّةً لَضَرَبْتُ بِهَا وجُوهَكُمْ".

"On the authority of 'Ammar ibn Abi 'Ammar: that 'Ali passed by people playing chess, so he reprimanded them and said: By Allah, you were not created for this. Were it not that it would become a sunnah, I would strike your faces with it."
