[Machine] To the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I said, "Indeed, there are two qualities in you that Allah loves." I asked, "What are they?" He replied, "Patience and modesty." I asked, "Are they inherent in me or acquired?" He said, "They are inherent." I said, "Praise be to Allah who has made me possess these two qualities that He loves."  

لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ فِيكَ خَلَّتَيْنِ يُحِبُّهُمَا اللهُ قُلْتُ مَا هُمَا؟ قَالَ الْحِلْمُ وَالْحَيَاءُ قُلْتُ أَقَدِيمًا كَانَ فِيَّ أَمْ حَدِيثًا؟ قَالَ بَلْ قَدِيمًا قُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَبَلَنِي عَلَى خَلَّتَيْنِ يُحِبُّهُمَا  

[Machine] One of the delegates who visited the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the tribe of Abdul Qais told me: We presented to him a gift of a piece of cloth or a handkerchief, or a bottle of perfume. He asked, "What is this?" We replied, "It is a gift." He then seemed to look at a date from it, and he returned it to its place, saying, "Give it to the family of Muhammad." He was then asked about various things, including drinks. He said, "Do not drink in a leather container, a gourd, a flask, or a hollowed out stick. Drink in what is permitted, the Mohakah." One of them asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you know about leather containers, gourds, flasks, and hollowed out sticks?" He replied, "I don't know what these are, which one is the most valuable?" We said, "The Mashafir." He said, "By Allah, I have entered them and taken their lids." He then said, "I had forgotten to mention something, then Ubaidullah bin Abu Jarwah reminded me. I stood at the edge of the Zara'ah and said, 'O Allah, forgive the tribe of Abdul Qais when they submit willingly, not reluctantly or out of fear, and not in a state of humiliation or disgrace.' He then turned his face towards the Qiblah."  

قَالَحَدَّثَنِي أَحَدُ الْوَفْدِ الَّذِينَ وَفَدُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ قَالَ وَأَهْدَيْنَا لَهُ فِيمَا نُهْدِي نَوْطًا أَوْ قِرْبَةً مِنْ تَعْضُوضٍ أَوْ بَرْنِيٍّ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا؟ قُلْنَا هَذِهِ هَدِيَّةٌ قَالَ وَأَحْسِبُهُ نَظَرَ إِلَى تَمْرَةٍ مِنْهَا فَأَعَادَهَا مَكَانَهَا وَقَالَ أَبْلِغُوهَا آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ فَسَأَلَهُ الْقَوْمُ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ حَتَّى سَأَلُوهُ عَنِ الشَّرَابِ فَقَالَ لَا تَشْرَبُوا فِي دُبَّاءٍ وَلَا حَنْتَمٍ وَلَا نَقِيرٍ وَلَا مُزَفَّتٍ اشْرَبُوا فِي الْحَلَالِ الْمُوكَى عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ قَائِلُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ مَا الدُّبَّاءُ وَالْحَنْتَمُ وَالنَّقِيرُ وَالْمُزَفَّتُ؟ قَالَ أَنَا لَا أَدْرِي مَا هِيَهْ أَيُّ هَجَرٍ أَعَزُّ؟ قُلْنَا الْمُشَقَّرُ قَالَ فَوَاللهِ لَقَدْ دَخَلْتُهَا وَأَخَذْتُ إِقْلِيدَهَا قَالَ وَكُنْتُ قَدْ نَسِيتُ مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ شَيْئًا فَأَذْكَرَنِيهِ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي جَرْوَةَ قَالَ وَقَفْتُ عَلَى عَيْنِ الزَّارَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِعَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ إِذْ أَسْلَمُوا طَائِعِينَ غَيْرَ كَارِهِينَ غَيْرَ خَزَايَا وَلَا مَوْتُورِينَ إِذْ بَعْضُ قَوْمِنَا لَا يُسْلِمُونَ حَتَّى يُخْزَوْا وَيُوتَرُوا قَالَ وَابْتَهَلَ وَجْهُهُ هَاهُنَا مِنَ الْقِبْلَةِ  

[Machine] One of the delegation who visited the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed me, and if it was not him, then Qays ibn Nu'man said, "I have forgotten his name." He narrated the hadith and raised his hands to supplicate for Abd al-Qays, and his face was towards the Qibla from the right side of the Qibla until he faced the Qibla. Then he supplicated for Abd al-Qays again and said, "Verily, the best of the people of the east is Abd al-Qays."  

حَدَّثَنِي أَحَدُ الْوَفْدِ الَّذِينَ وَفَدُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنْ لَا يَكُنْ قَالَ قَيْسَ بْنَ النُّعْمَانِ فَإِنِّي نَسِيتُ اسْمَهُ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ وَابْتَهَلَ يَدْعُو لِعَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ وَوَجْهُهُ هَاهُنَا مِنَ الْقِبْلَةِ يَعْنِي عَنْ يَمِينِ الْقِبْلَةِ حَتَّى اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ ثُمَّ يَدْعُو لِعَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ خَيْرَ أَهْلِ الْمَشْرِقِ عَبْدُ الْقَيْسِ  

[Machine] He heard some of the delegation from Abd al-Qays saying, "We have come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his joy increased upon seeing us. When we reached the people, they made way for us and we sat down. The Prophet ﷺ welcomed us and prayed for us. Then he looked at us and said, "Who is your leader and chief?" We all pointed to Mundhir ibn 'Amr. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Is this the one with the scar?" It was the first day he was given this nickname because of a blow to his face with a donkey's hoof. We said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He then followed the people and assessed their resources and belongings. Then he took off his traveling clothes and put on his best clothes. He then approached the Prophet ﷺ , who had stretched out his leg and leaned on it. When Mundhir approached, the people made way for him and said, "Here is Mundhir!" The Prophet ﷺ straightened himself and sat up, welcomed him, and treated him kindly. Then he asked about his lands and named for him a village called Safa and Mashqar, among other villages. Mundhir said, "By my parents, O Messenger of Allah, you know the names of our villages." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I have already been to your lands and it has opened up to me. Then he approached the Ansar and said, "O people of the Ansar, honor your brothers, for they are like you in Islam, and they bear the closest resemblance to you in hair and appearance. They have submitted willingly, not by force or coercion, as a people who refused to submit were killed. When they woke up, the Prophet ﷺ said, "How do you see the status of your brothers and their hospitality towards you?" They replied, "They are the best brothers. They have provided us with bedding, made our food, stayed with us, and taught us the Book of our Lord and the Sunnah of our Prophet." The Prophet ﷺ was pleased and delighted with this, then he approached us one by one and asked each of us about what we had learned and taught. Some of us learned and taught greetings, the mother of the Book, and two Surahs, while others learned and taught the Sunnah and two Sunnahs. Then he turned to us and said, "Do you have any provisions with you?" The people were happy about this and rushed to prepare their belongings. Each man came with a handful of dates and placed it on a cloth in front of him, holding a piece of cloth in his hand. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you call this a variety of provisions?" We said, "Yes." Then he pointed to another handful of dates and asked, "Do you call this a pair of sandals?" We said, "Yes." Then he pointed to another handful of dates and asked, "Do you call this a gift?" We said, "

[Machine] On the authority of the delegation of Abdul Qais, they heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "O Allah, make us among Your chosen slaves, the glittering ones, the fully armed ones, and the accepted delegation." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, who are the chosen slaves of Allah?" He replied, "The righteous slaves of Allah." They asked, "Who are the glittering ones?" He said, "Those among them whose bodies have radiance in places of purification." They asked, "Who are the fully armed ones?" He said, "They are the ones who accompany their Prophet from this Ummah to their Lord."  

عَنْ وَفْدِ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ أَنَّهُمْ سَمِعُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِكَ الْمُنْتَخَبِينَ الْغُرِّ الْمُحَجَّلِينَ الْوَفْدِ الْمُتَقَبَّلِينَ قَالَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا عِبَادُ اللهِ الْمُنْتَخَبُونَ؟ قَالَ عِبَادُ اللهِ الصَّالِحُونَ قَالُوا فَمَا الْغُرُّ الْمُحَجَّلُونَ؟ قَالَ الَّذِينَ يَبْيَضُّ مِنْهُمْ مَوَاضِعُ الطُّهُورِ قَالُوا فَمَا الْوَفْدُ الْمُتَقَبَّلُونَ؟ قَالَ وَفْدٌ يَفِدُونَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ مَعَ نَبِيِّهِمْ إِلَى رَبِّهِم
