ثُمَّ إِئْتِ قَيْسًا فَقُلْ يَا مَعْشَرُ قَيْسِ
Then go to Qays and say, O people of Qays.
قَيْسِ — Qays. This tribe-name is the owner half of the pair begun by 'assembly', in the genitive 'of' slot, completing 'assembly of Qays'. As a name it is inherently definite. Its place right after the head noun supplies the 'of' link with no separate word.
