We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when the delegation of Abdul-Qays arrived. He asked them, "Why have your complexions turned yellow, your bellies grown large, and your veins become prominent?"They replied, "Our chief came to you and asked you about a drink that suited us, and you forbade him from it, but we live in a feverish land."He said, "Drink whatever is wholesome for you."
جلسنا عند النبي ﷺ فجاء وفد عبد القيس، فقال: ما لكم قد اصفرت ألوانكم، وعظمت بطونكم، وظهرت عروقكم؟ قال: قالوا: أتاك؟ قال: قالوا: أتاك سيدنا فسألك عن شراب كان لنا موافقا فنهيته عنه، وكنا بأرض محمة، قال: فاشربوا ما طاب لكم.
Ibn Abu Shayba (24368) narrated it from Mulazim bin Amr, from Ujaybah bin Abdul-Hameed, from his uncle Qays bin Talq, from his father Talq bin Ali, who said, and then he mentioned it. Tabarani (8256) also narrated it through the route of Ibn Abu Shayba. Haythami attributed it to Tabarani in Majma (5/65) and said, "It contains Ujaybah bin Abdul-Hameed, of whom Dhahabi said, 'He is scarcely known,' but the rest of its men are trustworthy."I say, this statement by Dhahabi is found in Mizan, and Hafiz confirmed it in Lisan. Both of them missed the fact that Ibn Main had deemed him trustworthy, as recorded in the narration of Uthman Darimi from him (488). Ibn Abu Hatim also narrated it from him in Jarh (488) and Tadeel (7/42). Ajli likewise deemed him trustworthy in his Thiqat (1113). Ibn Hibban also mentioned him in Thiqat (7/307), though he mistakenly thought he was a woman, so he entered him under the biography, "Ujaybah bint Abdul-Hameed bin Uqba bin Talq bin Ali Hanafi."So the chain is hasan on account of this Ujaybah and his teacher Qays bin Talq.
