Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 8223 — I came to the Prophet ﷺ and his ﷺ

حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ السَّدُوسِيُّ، ثنا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ الْبَصْرِيُّ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ثنا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ، ثنا قَيْسُ بْنُ طَلْقٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: جِئْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ وَهُمْ يَبْنُونَ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ عَمَلَهُمْ أَخَذْتُ أُحْذِقُ الْمِسْحَاةَ، فَخَلَطْتُ بِهَا الطِّينَ، فَكَأَنَّهُ أَعْجَبَهُ أَخْذِي الْمِسْحَاةَ وَعَمِلُوا، فَقَالَ: «دَعُوا الْحَنَفِيَّ وَالطِّينَ، فَإِنَّهُ أَضْبَطُكُمْ لِلطِّينِ» وَاللَّفْظُ لِحَدِيثِ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ "
Sayyiduna Talq bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his (peace and blessings be upon him) Companions while they were building the mosque. When I saw their work, I took hold of the spade and began mixing the clay with it. It seemed that my handling of the spade pleased him (peace and blessings be upon him), while they (the other Companions) kept on working. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Leave the Hanafi to the clay, for he is the best of you at handling clay." (This wording is from the narration of Asim bin Ali.)
