I came to Medina and saw a circle of people gathered near the pulpit of the Prophet ﷺ. I asked about it and was told that it was Abu Hurairah.So I went and sat with him, and he asked me, "Where are you from?"I said, "I am from the people of Yemen."He said, "I heard my beloved," or he said, "I heard Abu Qasim ﷺ say, 'Faith is Yemeni and wisdom is Yemeni. They are the most tender-hearted of people. Harshness and coarseness are found among the loud-voiced camel herders, the owners of woolen tents,'" and he pointed with his hand toward the East.
حدثنا عبد الرزاق أخبرنا عقيل بن معقل
قدمت المدينة فرأيت حلقة عند منبر النبي ﷺ فسألت فقيل لي أبو هريرة قال فسألت فقال لي ممن أنت قلت من أهل اليمن فقال سمعت حبي أو قال سمعت أبا القاسم ﷺ يقول الإيمان يمان والحكمة يمانية هم أرق قلوبا والجفاء في الفدادين أصحاب الوبر وأشار بيده نحو المشرق
Its isnad is sahih. Aqeel, with a fatha on the ayn, bin Maqil bin Munabbi al-Yamani, is trustworthy. Ahmad, Ibn Main, and others confirmed his reliability, and Bukhari gave his biography in al-Kabir 4/1/53, as did Ibn Abu Hatim in 3/1/219. Here he narrates from his uncle Wahb bin Munabbi.The hadith appears at length in numbers 7201 and 7426, from two other routes.As for "al-fadadun," with a fatha on the fa and a doubled dal, Ibn Athir said it refers to those whose voices rise loudly amid their plowing and their livestock. Its singular is "faddad." It is said that a man "fadda, yafiddu, fadeedan" when his voice grows harsh and loud. Others said it means those who own many camels, and still others said it refers to camel drivers, cattle herders, plowmen, and shepherds.
