(1) Reported by al-Bukhari, no. 2715, and by Muslim, no. 1870; the wording cited here is that of al-Bukhari, which Muslim does not reproduce. (2) In Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 10: Jihad, Chapter 56, “Stakes in horse racing,” 3:1053. (3) Musnad Ahmad 2:67, no. 5348, through Attab—‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak—‘Ubayd Allah ibn ‘Umar—Nafi‘—Ibn ‘Umar. I say: The expression “wa rahan” (“and for a wager”) is extremely unusual. A number of transmitters—such as Yahya al-Qattan, al-Thawri, Abu Usamah, Muhammad ibn ‘Ubayd, Ibn Numayr, and others—narrated from ‘Ubayd Allah through Nafi‘ with the same wording found in the two Sahihs, but without the phrase “wa rahan.” The same is true of the transmissions of Imam Malik, Ayyub al-Sakhtiyani, al-Layth ibn Sa‘d, Musa ibn ‘Uqbah, Juwayriyah ibn Asma’, Isma‘il ibn Umayyah, and Usamah ibn Zayd: all relate from Nafi‘ on the authority of Ibn ‘Umar a wording comparable to that of the two Sahihs, again omitting “wa rahan.” Accordingly, the inclusion of this word is anomalous (shadh), and Allah knows best. See al-Musnad al-jami‘ 10:621–622 and Ithaf al-mahrah 9:199.
