Narrated Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and Abu Kurayb—both said: narrated to us Abu Mu‘awiyah, from al-A‘mash, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The people of Yemen have come to you; they are the softest in hearts and the most tender in feelings. Faith is Yemeni, and wisdom is Yemeni. The head of disbelief is toward the east."
