The second section regarding what has come about al-Azd and Himyar
Hadith 12558
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”نِعْمَ الْقَوْمُ الْأَزْدُ طَيِّبَةٌ أَفْوَاهُهُمْ بَرَّةٌ أَيْمَانُهُمْ نَقِيَّةٌ قُلُوبُهُمْ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The people of the tribe of Azd are the best people, their speech is extremely excellent, they fulfill their oaths, and their hearts are pure, meaning they do not harbor malice or envy against anyone.
Hadith 12559
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْعَنْ حِمْيَرَ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ أُخْرَى فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ الْعَنْ حِمْيَرَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”رَحِمَ اللَّهُ حِمْيَرَ أَفْوَاهُهُمْ سَلَامٌ وَأَيْدِيهِمْ طَعَامٌ أَهْلُ أَمْنٍ وَإِيمَانٍ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: I was present in the service of the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. A man came and said: O Messenger of Allah! Invoke curse upon the tribe of Himyar. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, turned away from him. He came from the other side and again said the same thing, that you, peace and blessings be upon him, invoke curse upon the tribe of Himyar. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, turned his face away from him and said: May Allah have mercy on the tribe of Himyar; their mouths, that is, their speech, is of peace; their hands are those that feed others, and these people are of security and faith.
