(القَسْوَةُ تُوجَدُ فِي أَهْلِ البَادِيَةِ)
(Harshness is found among the desert dwellers)
Hadith 6269
وَعَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مِنْ هَهُنَا جَاءَتِ الْفِتَنُ-نَحْوَ الْمَشْرِقِ-وَالْجَفَاءُ وَغِلَظُ الْقُلُوبِ فِي الْفَدَّادِينَ أَهْلِ الْوَبَرِ عِنْدَ أُصُولِ أَذْنَابِ الْإِبِلِ وَالْبَقَرِ فِي رَبِيعَةَ وَمُضَرَ» . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ
Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari reported the Prophet as saying, "From here I (indicating the east) dissensions have come, and roughness and harsh hearts are to be found among the husbandmen who live in camel-hair tents who walk behind camels and oxen among Rabi'a and Mudar. (Bukhari and Muslim.)
