Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَبَّقَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ الْمُضَمَّرَةِ مِنْ الْحَفْيَاءِ إِلَى ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَمَا لَمْ يُضَمَّرْ مِنْهَا مِنْ ثَنِيَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ
English Translation
Yahya narrated to us, from 'Ubayd Allah, Nafi' informed me, from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ held a horse race between horses that had been prepared [by special feeding and training], from al-Hafya' to Thaniyyat al-Wada' — a distance of approximately five or six miles. And he raced horses that had not been specially prepared from Thaniyyat al-Wada' to the mosque of Banu Zurayq — approximately one mile.
