Sahih al-Bukhari 3302
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ أَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَ الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ " الإِيمَانُ يَمَانٍ هَا هُنَا، أَلاَ إِنَّ الْقَسْوَةَ وَغِلَظَ الْقُلُوبِ فِي الْفَدَّادِينَ عِنْدَ أُصُولِ أَذْنَابِ الإِبِلِ، حَيْثُ يَطْلُعُ قَرْنَا الشَّيْطَانِ فِي رَبِيعَةَ وَمُضَرَ ".
Musaddad narrated to us: Yahya narrated to us, from Ismaʿil, who said: Qays narrated to me, from ʿUqba ibn ʿAmr, Abu Masʿud, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ pointed with his hand toward Yemen and said: ‘Faith is in Yemen—over there. Indeed, harshness and hard-heartedness are among the loud-voiced herders at the bases of camel tails, where the two horns of Satan emerge among Rabiʿa and Mudar.’
