Waki' ibn al-Dawraqiyya al-Quray'i

وكيع بن الدورقية القريعي

Waki' ibn al-Dawraqiyya al-Quray'i — Abu Rabi'a, son of Umaira and a Dawraq captive; with Bujayr he stabbed Ibn Khazim and sat on his chest avenging Duwayla, his half-brother slain by Ibn Khazim, who spat back 'you kill Mudar's ram for a brother not worth a palm of date-stones'. A coarse giant: he ate the shoot before him during prayer — 'would God forbid a plant the sky's water raised on earth's clay?' — and answered reproach for wine with 'it washes my urine till it is silver'.
