Majma al-Zawaid 16547 — Reports on the Arab tribes
وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ : " وَمَأْكُولٌ [حِمْيَرَ] خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَكْلِهَا " . قَالَ : مَنْ مَضَى خَيْرٌ مِمَنْ بَقِيَ .
In one narration the wording is: "What Himyar has eaten is better than the one who eats it." The narrator says: What is meant by this is that those who have passed away are better than those who remain.
