Sahih Muslim 51 (Book 1, Hadith 88) #7353
Faith in Yemen & Harshness of Hearts

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed towards Yemen and said that faith is found in that direction, while harshness and callousness of the hearts is found amongst the rude owners of camels who drive them towards the two horns of Satan.

It is narrated on the authority of Ibn Mas'ud that the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) pointed towards Yemen with his hand and said: Verily Iman is towards this side, and harshness and callousness of the hearts is found amongst the rude owners of the camels who drive them behind their tails (to the direction) where emerge the two horns of Satan, they are the tribes of Rabi'a and Mudar.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ح، وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْحَارِثِيُّ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ قَيْسًا، يَرْوِي عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ أَشَارَ النَّبِيُّ بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَ الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَلاَ إِنَّ الإِيمَانَ هَا هُنَا وَإِنَّ الْقَسْوَةَ وَغِلَظَ الْقُلُوبِ فِي الْفَدَّادِينَ عِنْدَ أُصُولِ أَذْنَابِ الإِبِلِ حَيْثُ يَطْلُعُ قَرْنَا الشَّيْطَانِ فِي رَبِيعَةَ وَمُضَرَ

He also mentioned that these people drive their camels towards the two horns of Satan, which refers to two tribes called Rabi'a and Mudar. This hadith teaches us to have faith in Allah and not let our hearts become hard or calloused by being rude or unkind to others. We should strive for kindness instead so we can stay away from evil influences like those mentioned here.
