It is narrated from Sayyiduna Utbah bin Abd (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man said: O Messenger of Allah! Curse the people of Yemen, for they are great warriors, very numerous, and their forts are strong. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, I will not curse them. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the non-Arabs. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These Yemenis will pass by you, bringing their women with them and carrying their children on their shoulders; they are from me and I am from them.
