حَدَّثَنَا مِقْدَامٌ: نَا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى: ثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ: نَا الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ خِرِّيتٍ: ثَنَا أَبُو لَبِيدٍ قَالَ:
أُرْسِلَتِ الْخَيْلُ زَمَنَ الْحَجَّاجِ، وَالْحَكَمُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ أَمِيرٌ عَلَى الْبَصْرَةِ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَتِ الْخَيْلُ، قُلْنَا: لَوْ مِلْنَا إِلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، فَسَأَلْنَاهُ: يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ، أَكُنْتُمْ تُرَاهِنُونَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ وَهُوَ فِي قَصْرِهِ بِالزَّاوِيَةِ، فَسَأَلْنَاهُ: يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ، أَكُنْتُمْ تُرَاهِنُونَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُرَاهِنُ ؟ فَقَالَ: " نَعَمْ، وَاللهِ لَقَدْ رَاهَنَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لَهُ، يُقَالُ لَهَا: سَبْحَةُ، فَسَبَقَ النَّاسَ، فَهَشَّ لِذَلِكَ وَأَعْجَبَهُ

✧ Horses were sent out during the time of al-Hajjaj, while al-Hakam b. Ayyub was governor of Basra. When the horses came, we said: “Let us go to Anas b. Malik and ask him: O Abu Hamzah, did you used to hold horse races for stakes during the time of the Messenger of God ﷺ?” So we came to him while he was in his palace at al-Zawiyah, and we asked him: “O Abu Hamzah, did you used to hold horse races for stakes during the time of the Messenger of God ﷺ? Did the Messenger of God ﷺ race for stakes?” He said: “Yes, by God, he raced a horse of his called Subhah, and it beat the people, and he rejoiced at that and was pleased.”
