Sahih al-Bukhari 3498 (Book 61, Hadith 8) #3340
Characteristics of People from the East

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the characteristics of people from the east and how they lack mercy and are rude.

Narrated Abi Mas'ud: The Prophet said, "From this side from the east, afflictions will appear. Rudeness and lack of mercy are characteristics of the rural bedouins who are busy with their camels and cows (and pay no attention to religion). Such are the tribes of Rabi'a and Mudar".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مِنْ هَا هُنَا جَاءَتِ الْفِتَنُ نَحْوَ الْمَشْرِقِ، وَالْجَفَاءُ وَغِلَظُ الْقُلُوبِ فِي الْفَدَّادِينَ أَهْلِ الْوَبَرِ عِنْدَ أُصُولِ أَذْنَابِ الإِبِلِ، وَالْبَقَرِ فِي رَبِيعَةَ وَمُضَرَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith talks about how people from the east have certain characteristics that make them stand out. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that these people are known for their rudeness and lack of mercy. He also mentioned two tribes in particular - Rabi'a and Mudar - who were busy with their camels and cows instead of focusing on religion. This hadith teaches us to be kind to others regardless of where they come from or what they do for a living. We should always strive to show mercy towards others as this is an important part of our faith as Muslims.
