[Machine] I was part of the delegation that came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and we were forty men. He forbade us from pursuing hunting prey, such as: the wild donkey, and the hantam, and the nanyir, and the muzaffat. Then, he ordered us to slaughter the arak (a type of wild animal). We said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have grass with us that we can feed on." He raised his hands and said, "O Allah, forgive the people of Qais when they embraced Islam obediently and not unwillingly."
كُنْتُ فِي الْوَفْدِ الَّذِينَ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَكُنَّا أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلًا فَنَهَانَا عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ لَنَا بِأَرَاكٍ فَقَالَ «اسْتَاكُوا بِهَذَا» قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ عِنْدَنَا الْعُشْبَ وَنَحْنُ نَجْتَزِئُ بِهِ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِعَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ إِذْ أَسْلَمُوا طَائِعِينَ غَيْرَ كَارِهِينَ»
