Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34615 — Reports on Yemen and its virtue

Sayyiduna Jubayr bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "We were on a journey with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The people of Yemen will come to you as though they were clouds. They are the best people on earth.' At this, one of the Companions from the Ansar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Except for us?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, in a faint word: 'Except for you.'"
