[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
