The reciter: Abdullah ibn Yusuf narrated to us, saying: Malik informed us from Nafi' from 'Abd ibn 'Umar: Sahih al-Bukhari 420.
The Shaykh : (may Allah be pleased with him), the point of interest is his mention of the mosque of Banu Zuraq, and this is among the matters that ... that mosques should be named, because that makes it easier to find them. But what should we name them? We name them with what is appropriate, either with the name of the neighborhood, or we name them after one of the imams, such as the mosque of so-and-so, or after one of the tribes, or something similar. The important thing is to give them a sign by which they are known. Yes.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered for a horse race; the trained horses were to run from a place called Al-Hafya' to Thaniyat Al-Wada` and the horses which were not trained were to run from Al-Thaniya to the Masjid (mosque of) Bani Zuraiq. The sub narrator added: Ibn `Umar was one of those who took part in the race.
