Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ أَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ أَبِي ذُبَابٍ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ أَتَاكُمْ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ كَقِطَعِ السَّحَابِ خَيْرُ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ وَمِنَّا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَّةً إِلَّا أَنْتُمْ.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Ishaq told us, he said: Ibn Lahi'ah told us, from al-Harith ibn Yazid, from al-Harith ibn Abi Dhubab, if Allah wills, from Muhammad ibn Jubayr ibn Mut'im, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, raised his head to the sky and said: The people of Yemen have come to you like pieces of cloud, the best of the people of the earth. A man who was present with him said: And from us too, O Messenger of Allah? He said a faint word: Except you.
