‘Ali used to say that chess is the maisir of the foreigners.
Ibn Shihab told that Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari used to say that only a sinner plays chess.
He told that when asked about playing chess he replied that it pertains to what is worthless and that God does not like what is worthless.
Baihaqi transmitted the four traditions in Shu’ab al-iman.
وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُول: الشطرنج هُوَ ميسر الْأَعَاجِم
وَعَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيَّ قَالَ: لَا يلْعَب بالشطرنج إِلَّا خاطئ
وَعنهُ أَن سُئِلَ عَنْ لَعِبِ الشَّطْرَنْجِ فَقَالَ: هِيَ مِنَ الْبَاطِلِ وَلَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ الْبَاطِلَ. رَوَى الْبَيْهَقِيُّ الْأَحَادِيثَ الْأَرْبَعَةَ فِي شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ

Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1019
'Ali ibn 'Abdullah was heard expressing his dislike for chess
and said, "Do not greet someone who plays it. It is a kind of gambling."
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَعْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو رُزَيْقٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَكْرَهُ الأَسْبِرَنْجَ وَيَقُولُ: لاَ تُسَلِّمُوا عَلَى مَنْ لَعِبَ بِهَا، وَهِيَ مِنَ الْمَيْسِرِ.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that when he found one of his family playing dice he beat him and destroyed the dice.
Yahya said that he heard Malik say, "There is no good in chess, and he disapproved of it." Yahya said, "I heard him disapprove of playing it and other worthless games. He recited this ayat, 'What is there after the truth except going the wrong way.' " (Sura l0 ayat 32).
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ يَلْعَبُ بِالنَّرْدِ ضَرَبَهُ وَكَسَرَهَا . قَالَ يَحْيَى وَسَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا يَقُولُ لاَ خَيْرَ فِي الشَّطْرَنْجِ . وَكَرِهَهَا وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَكْرَهُ اللَّعِبَ بِهَا وَبِغَيْرِهَا مِنَ الْبَاطِلِ وَيَتْلُو هَذِهِ الآيَةَ {فَمَاذَا بَعْدَ الْحَقِّ إِلاَّ الضَّلاَلُ } .
