2870. Narrated Abū Ishāq: Mūsā bin 'Uqba said, Nāfi' said: Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنه said, "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ arranged a horse race amongst the horses that had been made lean, letting them start from Al-Ḥafyā' and their limit (distance of running) was up to Thanīyat Al-Wadā'. I asked Mūsā, 'What was the distance between the two places?' Mūsā replied, 'Six or seven miles. He arranged a race of the horses which had not been made lean sending them from Thanīyat-Al-Wadā', and their limit was up to the mosque of Banī Zuraīq.' I asked, 'What was the distance between those two places?' He replied 'One mile or so.' Ibn 'Umar was amongst those who participated in that horse race."

2870 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: " سَابَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ الخَيْلِ الَّتِي قَدْ أُضْمِرَتْ، فَأَرْسَلَهَا مِنَ الحَفْيَاءِ، وَكَانَ أَمَدُهَا ثَنِيَّةَ الوَدَاعِ - فَقُلْتُ لِمُوسَى: فَكَمْ كَانَ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: سِتَّةُ أَمْيَالٍ أَوْ سَبْعَةٌ - وَسَابَقَ بَيْنَ الخَيْلِ الَّتِي لَمْ تُضَمَّرْ، فَأَرْسَلَهَا مِنْ ثَنِيَّةِ الوَدَاعِ وَكَانَ أَمَدُهَا مَسْجِدَ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ " قُلْتُ: فَكَمْ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: مِيلٌ أَوْ نَحْوُهُ، وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ مِمَّنْ سَابَقَ فِيهَا
