‘Aaishah’s (radiyallahu ‘anha) disapproval of backgammon

Is this Hadith authentic?

Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) heard that some people who were living on her property had a backgammon set, so she sent word to them saying: ‘If you do not throw it out, I will throw you out of my property. And she denounced them for that. (Al Adabul Mufrad)

Answer:

Yes, it is. The narration is recorded in Muwatta Imam Malik and Al Adabul Mufrad of Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah).

(Muwatta Imam Malik: 2753, Al Adabul Mufrad: 1274)
