اُردوEn
عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ : " أَتَاكُمْ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ كَقِطَعِ السَّحَابِ خَيْرُ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ " . فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ : وَمِنَّا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ فَقَالَ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَّةً : " إِلَّا أَنْتُمْ " .
Sayyiduna Jubayr bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him) states: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head, looked towards the sky and said: "The people of Yemen will come to you like pieces of cloud (bringing benefit), and they are the best of the people of the earth." (The narrator states:) One of those present with him said: "O Messenger of Allah! And from among us?" (That is, are some of us also among the best?) So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in a low voice: "Except that your case is different."
