Hadith 148
Hadith.3291 - And Al-'Ala ibn Sayabah narrated from Abu Abdullah (as), who said
"The testimony of the player of nard (a type of board game), the one who plays arba'ata 'ashar (a gambling game), and the player of chess is not accepted. They say, 'No, by Allah (swt),' and 'Yes, by Allah (swt),' and 'By Allah (swt), his king (chess piece) died,' and 'By Allah (swt), his king (chess piece) was killed,' while Allah (swt), exalted is His mention, is the true King who neither dies nor is killed."

"لاَ تُقْبَلُ شَهَادَةُ صَاحِبِ اَلنَّرْدِ وَ اَلْأَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ وَ صَاحِبِ اَلشَّاهَيْنِ يَقُولُ لاَ وَ اَللَّهِ وَ بَلَى وَ اَللَّهِ مَاتَ وَ اَللَّهِ شَاهُهُ وَ قُتِلَ وَ اَللَّهِ شَاهُهُ وَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى ذِكْرُهُ شَاهُهُ مَا مَاتَ وَ لاَ قُتِلَ".
