Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ‏:‏ اللاَّعِبُ بِالْفُصَّيْنِ قِمَارًا كَآكِلِ لَحْمِ الْخِنْزِيرِ، وَاللاَّعِبُ بِهِمَا غَيْرَ قِمَارٍ كَالْغَامِسِ يَدَهُ فِي دَمِ خِنْزِيرٍ‏.‏

al-Hasan ibn ‘Umar related to us: Yazid ibn Zuray‘ related to us, from Habib, from ‘Amr ibn Shu‘ayb, from his father, from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘As, who said: ‘One who plays with two dice for stakes is like one who eats pig’s flesh, and one who plays with them without gambling is like one who dips his hand in a pig’s blood.’

  • The term الفصين refers here to two dice; the source distinguishes wagering from play without a wager.
