The Hadith is authentic and firmly established from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. It was narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim with similar wordings, among them from Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The people of Yemen have come to you. They are the most tender-hearted and softest-hearted. Faith is Yemeni, and wisdom is Yemeni. Pride and arrogance are in the owners of camels, and tranquility and dignity are in the owners of sheep." And in another narration: "Understanding (Fiqh) is Yemeni, and wisdom is Yemeni."
