حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ وَيَعْلَى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
أَتَاكُمْ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ هُمْ أَلْيَنُ قُلُوبًا وَأَرَقُّ أَفْئِدَةً الْإِيمَانُ يَمَانٍ وَالْحِكْمَةُ يَمَانِيَةٌ قَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ يَعْنِي فِي حَدِيثِهِ رَأْسُ الْكُفْرِ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ

It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Abu Mu'awiya and Ya'la, from al-A'mash, from Abu Salih — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The people of Yemen have come to you. They have the most tender hearts and the most gentle souls. Faith is Yemeni and wisdom is Yemeni.' Abu Mu'awiya added in his narration: 'The head of disbelief [kufr] lies in the direction of the East.'
