(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ،
وَيَعْلَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا
الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ
أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَتَاكُمْ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ هُمْ أَلْيَنُ قُلُوبًا ، وَأَرَقُّ أَفْئِدَةً ، الْإِيمَانُ يَمَانٍ ، وَالْحِكْمَةُ يَمَانِيَةٌ " . قَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَة يَعْنِي فِي حَدِيثِهِ : " رَأْسُ الْكُفْرِ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The people of Yemen have come to you; these people are soft-hearted and tender-hearted. Faith and wisdom are very excellent among the people of Yemen. While Abu Muawiyah has also added in his narration that the center of disbelief is towards the east.
