حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ سَبَّقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ فَأَرْسَلَ مَا ضُمِّرَ مِنْهَا مِنْ الْحَفْيَاءِ أَوْ الحَيْفَاءِ إِلَى ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَأَرْسَلَ مَا لَمْ يُضَمَّرْ مِنْهَا مِنْ ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَكُنْتُ فَارِسًا يَوْمَئِذٍ فَسَبَقْتُ النَّاسَ طَفَّفَ بِيَ الْفَرَسُ مَسْجِدَ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4487
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) held a race for horses. He sent those that had been specially prepared[1] for that, from al-Hayfa' to Thaniyyat al-Wadaa', and he sent those that had not been specially prepared from al-Thaniyyah to the mosque of Banu Zurayq. 'Abdullah said: I was a horsemen on that day ,and I came frst in the race , and the horse jumped with me into the mosque of Banu zurayq.[1]
