3939. Minā', the freed slave of 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Awf narrated that Abū 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 Allāh! Curse Hīmyār.' 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 Allāh have mercy upon Ĥimyār! Their mouths are (full of) peace, their hands are (generous with) food, and they are the people of trust and faith.'" (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ĥadīth is Gharīb. We do not know of it except through this route as a narration of 'Abdur-Razzāq. And Munkar Ahādīth are related from this Mīnā'.

Commentary
Ĥimyār is also a Yemeni tribe. These people are very peaceful and their hearts are filled with love for faith. They are helpful by nature; therefore, they deserve Allāh's blessings instead of curse.
