Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) states that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The people of Yemen are the softest of heart and the best in obedience."
Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it, but al-Tabarani recorded the words: "the most obedient." Its chain is hasan (good).
