Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ أَدْخَلَ فَرَسًا بَيْنَ فَرَسَيْنِ وَهُوَ لَا يَأْمَنُ أَنْ يَسْبِقَ فَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ وَمَنْ أَدْخَلَ فَرَسًا بَيْنَ فَرَسَيْنِ قَدْ أَمِنَ أَنْ يَسْبِقَ فَهُوَ قِمَارٌ.
English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'Whoever enters a horse between two horses and is not certain it will win, there is no harm in that. And whoever enters a horse between two horses and is certain it will win, that is gambling.'
