سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ هَذِهِ الْأَشْيَاءِ الَّتِي يَلْعَبُ بِهَا النَّاسُ النَّرْدِ وَ الشِّطْرَنْجِ حَتَّى انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى السُّدَّرِ فَقَالَ إِذَا مَيَّزَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ الْحَقِّ وَ الْبَاطِلِ فِي أَيِّهِمَا يَكُونُ قُلْتُ مَعَ الْبَاطِلِ قَالَ فَمَا لَكَ وَ لِلْبَاطِلِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abdullah Bin Aasim, from Ali Bin Ismail Al Maysami, from Rabie Bin Abdullah, from Al Fuzayl who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> about these things which the people play with, the dice and the chess, until I ended up to (mentioning) <span class="iTxt">Al-Suddary</span> (a game). So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If Allah<sup>azwj</sup> were to Differentiate between the truth and the falsehood, in which of these two (categories) would (these games) fall into’. I said, ‘With the falsehood’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So what is it to you with the falsehood’.
