حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ جَاءَ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ هُمْ أَرَقُّ أَفْئِدَةً وَأَضْعَفُ قُلُوبًا الإِيمَانُ يَمَانٍ وَالْحِكْمَةُ يَمَانِيَةٌ السَّكِينَةُ فِي أَهْلِ الْغَنَمِ وَالْفَخْرُ وَالْخُيَلاَءُ فِي الْفَدَّادِينَ أَهْلِ الْوَبَرِ قِبَلَ مَطْلِعِ الشَّمْسِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abdullah ibn Abd al-Rahman informed us; Abu al-Yaman informed us, from Shu'ayb, from al-Zuhri. Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab narrated to me that Abu Hurayrah said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say, ‘The people of Yemen have come; they are more tender in feeling and more yielding of heart. Faith is Yemeni, wisdom is Yemeni, tranquility is among the people who keep sheep, and pride and arrogance are among the loud-voiced people of the camel-hair tents, toward the place of sunrise.’

Translation notes
  • الْفَخْرُ وَالْخُيَلاَءُ فِي الْفَدَّادِينَ أَهْلِ الْوَبَرِ

    The specialized term الفدادين and its relation to أهل الوبر are culturally specific, and the passage itself does not define them.
