Hadith #468
Arabic Text
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُلَازِمٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سِرَاجُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَدْرٍ وَحَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ طَلْقٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ جِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ
وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ يَبْنُونَ الْمَسْجِدَ قَالَ فَكَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْجِبْهُ عَمَلُهُمْ قَالَ فَأَخَذْتُ الْمِسْحَاةَ فَخَلَطْتُ بِهَا الطِّينَ فَكَأَنَّهُ أَعْجَبَهُ أَخْذِي الْمِسْحَاةَ وَعَمَلِي فَقَالَ دَعُوا الْحَنَفِيَّ وَالطِّينَ فَإِنَّهُ أَضْبَطُكُمْ لِلطِّينِ

ʿAbd al-Ṣamad narrated to us, he said: Mulāzim narrated to us, he said: Sirāj ibn ʿUqbah and ʿAbdullāh ibn Badr narrated to us. And Yūnus ibn Muḥammad narrated to us, he said: Ayyūb narrated to us, from Qays ibn Ṭalq, from his father who said: I came to the Prophet ﷺ while his Companions were building the mosque. It seemed he was not impressed with their work. So I took the spade and mixed the mud. He seemed to be impressed with my taking the spade and my work, so he said: "Leave the Ḥanafī and the mud, for he is the most skilled among you with mud."
