حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ زَنْجُويَهْ، - بَغْدَادِيٌّ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ مِينَاءَ، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ أَحْسِبُهُ مِنْ قَيْسٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، الْعَنْ حِمْيَرًا فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ مِنَ الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ مِنَ الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ مِنَ الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏

"‏ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ حِمْيَرًا أَفْوَاهُهُمْ سَلاَمٌ وَأَيْدِيهِمْ طَعَامٌ وَهُمْ أَهْلُ أَمْنٍ وَإِيمَانٍ ‏"

Narrated Mina, the freed slave of 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf that Abu Hurairah said:

"We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) and a man came to him who I think was from Qais. So he said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Curse Himyar.' So he turned away from him, then he went to his other side, and he turned away from him. Then he went to his other side, and he turned away from him. Then he went to his other side, and he turned away from him. So the Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'May Allah have mercy upon Himyar! Their mouths are (full of) peace, their hands are (generous with) food, and they are the people of trust and faith.'"

Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 3939) and Ahmad (No. 7418).
