Hadith.3587 - It is narrated from Amr ibn Shimr, from Jabir, from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir 
, who said:
"When Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, revealed the verse: 'Indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah (swt)], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid them' (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:90).
The people asked: 'O Messenger of Allah (swt), what is gambling (maysir)?'
He ﷺ replied: 'Everything that involves betting, even dice and walnuts.'
They asked: 'What are the stone alters (ansab)?'
He ﷺ said: 'They are the sacrifices offered to their idols.'
They asked: 'What are the divining arrows (azlam)?'
He ﷺ said: 'They are their arrows used for seeking decisions or division.'"
