Hadith 6267
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَتَاكُم أهلُ الْيمن هم أَرقُّ أفئدَةً وَأَلْيَنُ قُلُوبًا الْإِيمَانُ يَمَانٍ وَالْحِكْمَةُ يَمَانِيَةٌ وَالْفَخْرُ وَالْخُيَلَاءُ فِي أَصْحَابِ الْإِبِلِ وَالسَّكِينَةُ وَالْوَقَارُ فِي أهل الْغنم» . مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
Abu Huraira reported the Prophet as saying, "The people of the Yemen have come to you. -They have the tenderest minds and gentlest hearts. Faith belongs to the Yemen and wisdom belongs to the Yemen; boasting and pride are to be found among the owners of camels, and calm deportment and gravity among the owners of sheep." (Bukhari and Muslim.)
