Narrated to me 'Amr al-Naqid and Hasan al-Hulwani, both said: narrated to us Ya'qub — and he is Ibn Ibrahim ibn Sa'd — narrated to us my father, 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 are the softest of hearts and the most tender of feelings. Understanding (al-fiqh) is Yemeni, and wisdom is Yemeni."
