Sunan Ibn Majah 1552
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أُخِذَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْقِبْلَةِ وَاسْتُقْبِلَ اسْتِقْبَالاً وَاسْتُلَّ اسْتِلاَلاً .

Harun ibn Ishaq narrated to us; al-Muharibi narrated to us, from Amr ibn Qays, from Atiyyah, from Abu Sa‘id: ‘The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was brought in from the direction of the qiblah, faced toward it, and lowered gently.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic uses three compact expressions for the direction and manner of placing him; the translation preserves the qiblah direction and gentle lowering.
