(1) The term talqis denotes beating tambourines and playing games to receive kings on their arrival. [End of the original marginal gloss.] I add: The author is alluding to a hadith recorded by Ibn Majah (1/391) and others through two chains. One chain includes Sharik ibn Abd Allah al-Qadi, who had a poor memory, and the other includes Abu Ishaq al-Sabii, who narrated after confusion had set in. Al-Tahawi judged both chains defective in Mushkil al-Athar (2/209–210). Consult it if you wish.
