Majma al-Zawaid 16633 — Reports on the people of Yemen
وَعَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : إِنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، الْعَنْ أَهْلَ الْيَمَنِ ; فَإِنَّهُمْ شَدِيدٌ بَأْسُهُمْ كَثِيرٌ عَدَدُهُمْ حَصِينَةٌ حُصُونُهُمْ فَقَالَ : " لَا " . ثُمَّ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - الْأَعْجَمِيِّينَ . وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِذَا مَرُّوا بِكُمْ يَسُوقُونَ نِسَاءَهُمْ ، يَحْمِلُونَ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ عَلَى عَوَاتِقِهِمْ ، فَهُمْ مِنِّي ، وَأَنَا مِنْهُمْ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : وَلَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - الْأَعْجَمِيِّينَ فَارِسَ وَالرُّومَ ، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِذَا مَرُّوا بِكُمْ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ يَسُوقُونَ نِسَاءَهُمْ ، وَيَحْمِلُونَ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ عَلَى عَوَاتِقِهِمْ ، فَإِنَّهُمْ مِنِّي ، وَأَنَا مِنْهُمْ " .
وَإِسْنَادُهُمَا حَسَنٌ ، فَقَدْ صَرَّحَ بَقِيَّةُ بِالسَّمَاعِ .

Sayyiduna Utbah bin Abd (may Allah be pleased with him) states: A man said: "O Messenger of Allah! Curse the people of Yemen, for they are formidable fighters, their numbers are great and their fortresses are strong." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No!" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the non-Arabs. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When they (that is, the people of Yemen) pass by you, they will be travelling with their women, carrying their children on their shoulders. They are from me and I am from them."
Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it, but al-Tabarani recorded these words: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the non-Arabs, that is, the people of Persia and the people of Rome." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the people of Yemen pass by you, they will be travelling with their women, carrying their children on their shoulders. They are from me and I am from them." The chain of both reports is hasan (good), and the narrator Baqiyyah has explicitly stated that he heard it directly.
