اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”الْإِيمَانُ يَمَانٍ، وَالْفِقْهُ يَمَانٍ، وَالْحِكْمَةُ يَمَانِيَةٌ، أَتَاكُمْ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ فَهُمْ أَرَقُّ أَفْئِدَةً وَأَلْيَنُ قُلُوبًا، وَالْكُفْرُ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ، وَالْفَخْرُ وَالْخُيَلَاءُ فِي أَهْلِ الْخَيْلِ وَالْإِبِلِ وَالْفَدَّادِينَ أَهْلِ الْوَبَرِ، وَالسَّكِينَةُ فِي أَهْلِ الْغَنَمِ“
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The essence of faith is with the Yemenis, jurisprudence is also from Yemen, and wisdom and understanding are better among the Yemenis. People of Yemen have come to you; they are very soft-hearted. Disbelief is more towards the east, and pride and arrogance are found among those who rear camels and horses and among the desert dwellers, while tranquility and gentleness are found among those who rear goats.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … By "fiqh" is meant the understanding of the religion, and by "hikmah" is meant that knowledge of the rulings of the Shari‘ah through which, with insight, recognition of Allah Ta‘ala is attained; by means of which one is aided in establishing the truth and acting upon it, and in whose light the servant remains protected from following desires and falsehood.
