حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا جَاءَ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”قَدْ أَقْبَلَ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ وَهُمْ أَرَقُّ قُلُوبًا مِنْكُمْ“، فَهُمْ أَوَّلُ مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْمُصَافَحَةِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: When the people of Yemen came, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The people of Yemen have come, and they are more soft-hearted than you." And they were the first people to introduce handshaking.
