Arabic text

١٧٠٠ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنْ ‌نَافِعِ بْنِ أَبِي نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا سَبَقَ إِلَّا فِي نَصْلٍ، أَوْ خُفٍّ»، أَوْ حَافِرٍ.

Commentary

The Hadīth confirms that stake and racing are only allowed in military-related rides and weaponry. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi, v.3, p.31).
