Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The essence of faith is with the Yemenis, jurisprudence is also from Yemen, and wisdom and understanding are better among the Yemenis. People of Yemen have come to you; they are very soft-hearted. Disbelief is more towards the east, and pride and arrogance are found among those who rear camels and horses and among the desert dwellers, while tranquility and gentleness are found among those who rear goats.
