Arabic text

3585 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ أَبِي نَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «لَا سَبَقَ إِلَّا فِي نَصْلٍ، أَوْ حَافِرٍ، أَوْ خُفٍّ»

Commentary

1. By organizing such events or competitions, military power would strengthen. 2. 'Not appropriate': Probably, the apparent meaning might have been that other sports and games are not worthy that prizes could be instituted over them. Or it might be in order to pronounce its excellence that the institution of prizes is commendable as well as deserving of recompense.
