Ḥadīth | Ṭabarānī (الطبراني) tabarani:8239 حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ السَّيْلَحِينِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ طَلْقٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُؤَسِّسُ مَسْجِدَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَجَعَلْتُ أَحْمِلُ الْحِجَارَةَ كَمَا يَحْمِلُونَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْيَمَامَةِ أَحْذَقُ شَيْءٍ بِإِخْلَاطِ الطِّينِ فَاخْلِطْ لَنَا الطِّينَ» فَكُنْتُ أَخْلِطُ لَهُمِ الطِّينَ وَيَحْمِلُونَهُ
English Translation
Talq said: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) while he was laying the foundation of the mosque of Medina. I started carrying stones as they were carrying them. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'O people of Yamama, you are the most skilled at mixing mud. Mix the mud for us.' So I used to mix the mud for them and they would carry it.
