4-119 Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutevakil - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Abdullah ibn Ja’far al-Homayry quoted Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Mahboob, on the authority of Khalid ibn Jarir, on the authority of Abil Rabi’a ash-Shamy, “I asked Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) about chess and backgammon. He (MGB)said, ‘God’s Prophet (MGB) said, Do not play them.’ I asked, ‘What about listening to songs?’ He (MGB) said, ‘There is no use in it. Do not listen to them.’ I asked, ‘What about drinking date wine?’ He (MGB) replied, ‘God’s Prophet (MGB) has forbidden drinking any intoxicator. All that is intoxicating is forbidden.’I asked, ‘What about using the dishes in which wine is made?’ He (MGB) replied, ‘God’s Prophet (MGB) has forbidden four kinds of them which are: Daba, Mazqat, Hantam and Naqir.’ I asked, ‘What are these?’ He (MGB) replied, ‘Daba refers to squash skin. Mazqat refers the potter’s vat. Hantam refers to grey colored pots and Naqir refers a wooden dish which was carved out until its middle became empty during the Age of Ignorance and they filled it with dates. Some have said that Hantam refers to green pots.’”
