حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْقَمُوصِ زَيْدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ
حَدَّثَنِي أَحَدُ الْوَفْدِ الَّذِينَ وَفَدُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ، قَالَ: وَأَهْدَيْنَا لَهُ فِيمَا يُهْدَى نَوْطًا أَوْ قِرْبَةً مِنْ تَعْضُوضٍ أَوْ بَرْنِيٍّ، فَقَالَ: « مَا هَذَا؟ » قُلْنَا: هَذِهِ هَدِيَّةٌ، قَالَ: وَأَحْسَبُهُ 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: « اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِعَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ إِذْ أَسْلَمُوا طَائِعِينَ غَيْرَ كَارِهِينَ، غَيْرَ خَزَايَا وَلَا مَوْتُورِينَ إِذْ بَعْضُ قَوْمِنَا لَا يُسْلِمُوا حَتَّى يُخْزَوْا وَيُوتَرُوا » قَالَ: وَابْتَهَلَ وَجْهُهُ هَاهُنَا مِنَ الْقِبْلَةِ حَتَّى اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَقَالَ: « إِنَّ خَيْرَ أَهْلِ الْمَشْرِقِ عَبْدُ الْقَيْسِ ».

✧ One of the delegation who came to the Messenger of God ﷺ from Abd al-Qays narrated to me. He said: We gave him as a gift among what was given a leather bag or a water skin of tough dates or barni dates. He said: “What is this?” We said: This is a gift. He said: I think he looked at a date from it and returned it to its place, and said: “Deliver it to the family of Muhammad.” He said: The people asked him about things until they asked him about drink. He said: “Do not drink from gourds, green jars, hollowed stumps, or pitch-coated vessels. Drink from lawful containers with their mouths tied.” Then one of our speakers said to him: O Messenger of God, what do you know of what a gourd, green jar, hollowed stump, and pitch-coated vessel are? He said: “I do not know what they are. Which Hajar is the most fortified?” We said: Al-Mushaqqar. He said: “By God, I entered it and took its key.” He said: I had forgotten something from his account, and Ubayd Allah b. Abi Jarwa reminded me of it. He said: “I stood at the spring of al-Zara.” Then he said: “O God, forgive Abd al-Qays since they submitted willingly, not unwillingly, neither disgraced nor seeking vengeance, while some of our people do not submit until they are disgraced and vengeance is sought.” He said: He fervently turned his face from here, toward the qiblah, until he faced the qiblah and said: “The best people of the East are Abd al-Qays.”
