Chapter on the Legal Punishment for Drinking Alcohol and Reports Regarding Singing and Amusements
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "إِنَّ اَلْمَلاَئِكَةَ لَتَنْفِرُ عِنْدَ اَلرِّهَانِ وَ تَلْعَنُ صَاحِبَهُ مَا خَلاَ اَلْحَافِرَ وَ اَلْخُفَّ وَ اَلرِّيشَ وَ اَلنَّصْلَ وَ قَدْ سَابَقَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ وَ أَجْرَى اَلْخَيْلَ ".
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "Indeed, the angels withdraw from gatherings where gambling occurs and curse the one involved in it, except in the case of betting on hoofed animals, animals with padded feet, feathered birds, and arrows. And the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) himself raced with Usamah ibn Zayd and conducted horse races."
