[3] عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ الشِّطْرَنْجُ مِنَ الْبَاطِلِ . Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hafs Bin Al Bakhtary, from the one who mentioned it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘The chess is from the falsehood’.
Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muhammad Bin Al Hakam, a brother of Hisham Bin Al Hakam, from Umar Bin Yazeed, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said : ‘Allah -azwj Emancipates (liberate) people during every night of the Month of Ramazan, Emancipating (liberating) them from the Fire, except the one who breaks Fast upon an intoxicant, or a bickerer, or an owner of the two kings’. I said, ‘And which thing is the ‘owner of the two kings’?’ He -asws said: ‘The chess’.
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ali Bin Iqba, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having been asked about the chess, and about a game of youths which is called ‘The game of the Emir’, and about a game of the three. So he -asws said: ‘What is your view, if the truth were to be differentiated from the falsehood, with which of these two would these all be?’ I said, ‘With the falsehood’.
He -asws said: ‘Therefore, there is no goodness in it’.
