دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا تَقُولُ فِي الشِّطْرَنْجِ قَالَ الْمُقَلِّبُ لَهَا كَالْمُقَلِّبِ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ فَقُلْتُ مَا عَلَى مَنْ قَلَّبَ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ قَالَ يَغْسِلُ يَدَهُ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Raib who said, ‘I went over to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! What are you<sup>asws</sup> saying regarding the chess?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The mover of it is like a mover of the flesh of swine’. So I said, ‘And what is upon the one who moves the flesh of swine?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He should wash his hand’.
