Abdu al-Samad narrated to us, Mulazim narrated to us, Abdullah ibn Badr narrated to us, and Siraj ibn Uqbah, that his uncle Qays ibn Taliq narrated to him, that his father Taliq ibn Ali narrated to him, that a delegation went to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, until they reached him, and they informed him that in their land there was a church, and they asked him for some of his leftover purification water. So he called for water, performed ablution, rinsed his mouth in a vessel, and said: "Take this water, and when you arrive at your land, break your church and sprinkle its place with this water, and make it a mosque." He said: We said: O Prophet of Allah, we go out in a time of much hot wind and heat, and the water dries up. He said: "Then add water to it, for there will remain in it much strength and moisture." He said: So we went out until we reached our land, broke our church, sprinkled its place with that water, and made it a mosque.

Abd al-Samad narrated to us, Mulazim narrated to us, Siraj ibn Uqbah narrated to us, and Abdullah ibn Uqbah, and Abdullah ibn Badr, that Qays ibn Taliq narrated to them, that his father Taliq ibn Ali said: I built the mosque with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he used to say: "Bring the Yamami closer to the clay, for he is the best of you in handling it and the strongest of you in shoulder."

Ali ibn Abdullah narrated to us before he was tested, Mulazim ibn Amr narrated to us, Hawdhah ibn Qays ibn Talq narrated to me, from his father Qays ibn Talq, from his grandfather Talq ibn Ali, who said: "When we prayed with the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, we would see the whiteness of his right cheek and the whiteness of his left cheek."

Abdullah ibn Ahmad said: I found in my father's book in his own handwriting: Some of our companions narrated to me, he said: Mulazim narrated to me, Abdullah ibn Badr narrated to us, from Qays ibn Talq, from his father Talq ibn Ali, who said: "I was stung by a scorpion in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, so he performed ruqyah on me and wiped over it."

Hassan ibn Musa narrated to us, Shaiban narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, he told me, Isa ibn Khuthaym, from Qays ibn Talq al-Hanafi, that his father informed him, that a man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: O Messenger of Allah, "May one of us pray in a single garment?" He remained silent about him, and when the call to prayer was made, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, wrapped himself between two garments and prayed in them.

Yunus ibn Muhammad narrated to us, Ayub narrated to us, from Qays, from his father, who said: I came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, while his companions were building the mosque. It was as if their work did not please him. So I took the mattock and mixed the clay with it. It was as if my taking the mattock and my work pleased him, so he said: "Leave the Hanafi and the clay, for he is the best among you at handling the clay."

Abd al-Samad narrated to us, Mulazim ibn Amr al-Suhaymi narrated to us, Siraj ibn Uqbah narrated to us, from his paternal aunt Khaldah bint Talq, she said: My father Talq narrated to me, that he was sitting with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, when Suhar, the servant of Abd al-Qays, came and said: O Messenger of Allah, what do you approve of the drink we make in our land from our fruits? The Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, turned away from him until he asked him three times, until he stood up and prayed. When he finished his prayer, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Who is the one asking about the intoxicant? Do not drink it, and do not give it to your Muslim brother to drink. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, or by the One by Whom oaths are sworn, no man drinks it seeking the pleasure of its intoxication but Allah will give him the wine to drink on the Day of Resurrection."
