عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ: ”أَتَاكُمْ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ كَقِطَعِ السَّحَابِ خَيْرُ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ“، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ وَمِنَّا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: ”كَلِمَةً خَفِيَّةً إِلَّا أَنْتُمْ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jubair bin Mut’im (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head towards the sky and said: "The people of Yemen have come to you; they are pleasant and beneficial like pieces of clouds. They are the best among all the people of the earth." A man sitting in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! And us?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) softly said: "Except you."
