Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ لَعِبَ بِالنَّرْدَشِيرِ فَكَأَنَّمَا غَمَسَ يَدَهُ فِي لَحْمِ خِنْزِيرٍ وَدَمِهِ وَلَمْ يُسْنِدْهُ وَكِيعٌ مَرَّةً.
English Translation
Waki' told us, from Sufyan, from Alqamah ibn Marthad, from Sulayman ibn Buraydah, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever plays nardashir (a form of backgammon) is as though he has dipped his hand into the flesh and blood of a pig. Waki' did not once trace this back to the Prophet with a full chain.
