وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ، مِثْلَهُ وَزَادَ: «الإِيمَانُ يَمَانٍ وَالْحِكْمَةُ يَمَانِيَةٌ».

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْـمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ:«جَاءَ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ: هُمْ أَرَقُّ أَفْئِدَةً وَأَضْعَفُ قُلُوبًا. الإِيمَانُ يَمَانٍ وَالْحِكْمَةُ يَمَـانِيَةٌ. السَّـكِينَةُ فِي أَهْلِ الْغَنَمِ، وَالْفَخْرُ وَالْـخُيَلاَءُ فِي الْفَدَّادِينَ أَهْلِ الْوَبَرِ قِبَلَ مَطْلِعِ الشَّمْسِ» .

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَتَاكُمْ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ: هُمْ أَلْيَنُ قُلُوبًا وَأَرَقُّ أَفْئِدَةً. الإِيمَانُ يَمَانٍ وَالْحِكْمَةُ يَمَانِيَةٌ. رَأْسُ الْكُفْرِ قِبَلَ الْـمَشْرِقِ».

Also Bishr ibn Khalid narrated to me; Muhammad (meaning Ibn Ja[far) narrated: both of them said: Shu[bah narrated; from al-A[mash, stating this chain of transmission, the same as Jarir’s hadith but added: ‘Pride and arrogance are among the camel herders while serenity is among the sheep breeders’.

Text Explanation
3. This chapter includes thirteen hadiths all of which are variations on the same hadith that attaches faith, knowledge of Islam, and wisdom to Yemen and its people. Some of these versions ascribe certain other characteristics to other areas. The hadiths differ in certain cases. Qadi [Iyad put them together and subsequently, Shaykh Abu [Amr ibn al-Salah summarized and clarified them. Here is what he said:
The hadith attributes faith to the people of Yemen, but scholars said that it does not mean what it says exactly, because faith started in Makkah, then Madinah. Abu [Ubayd,i the imam of the west, and later scholars mention various explanations, one of which is that the Prophet meant Makkah, because Makkah is part of Tihamah
