John Shaqi

أَ رَأَيْتَكَ إِذَا مُيِّزَ الْحَقُّ مِنَ الْبَاطِلِ مَعَ أَيِّهِمَا يَكُونُ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَعَ الْبَاطِلِ قَالَ فَلَا خَيْرَ فِيهِ .


Translation

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<sup>asws</sup> 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<sup>asws</sup> 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<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Therefore, there is no goodness in it’.
