It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was sitting in the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man came and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), curse the tribe of Himyar." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his face away from him. He came from the other side and said the same thing again. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again turned away and said, "May Allah Almighty send His mercy upon the tribe of Himyar. On their tongues is peace and in their hands is food (for others), and they are people of security and faith."
