English translation

3301. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “The head (main source) of disbelief is in the east. Pride and arrogance are characteristics of the owners of horses and camels, and those rural bedouins who are busy with their camels and pay no attention to religion; while modesty and gentleness are the characteristics of the owners of sheep."

Arabic text

3301 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «رَأْسُ الكُفْرِ نَحْوَ المَشْرِقِ، وَالفَخْرُ وَالخُيَلاَءُ فِي أَهْلِ الخَيْلِ وَالإِبِلِ، وَالفَدَّادِينَ أَهْلِ الوَبَرِ، وَالسَّكِينَةُ فِي أَهْلِ الغَنَمِ»
