حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، وَحَسَنٌ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ أَتَاكُمْ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ هُمْ أَضْعَفُ قُلُوبًا وَأَرَقُّ أَفْئِدَةً الْفِقْهُ يَمَانٍ وَالْحِكْمَةُ يَمَانِيَةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Amr al-Naqid and Hasan al-Hulwani narrated to me; they said: Ya'qub—namely, Ibn Ibrahim ibn Sa'd—narrated to us; my father narrated to us, from Salih, from al-A'raj, who said: Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘The people of Yemen have come to you; they have more yielding hearts and more tender feelings. Understanding is Yemeni, and wisdom is Yemeni.’
