The belief is among the Yemenites, and the unbelief is towards the East, and tranquillity is among those who rear goats and sheep, and pride and simulation is among the uncivil and rude owners of horses and camels. (Using translation from Muslim 52e)  

أحمد:٨٨٤٦حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَخْبَرَنِي الْعَلَاءُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ الْإِيمَانُ يَمَانٍ وَالْكُفْرُ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالسَّكِينَةُ فِي أَهْلِ الْغَنَمِ وَالْفَخْرُ وَالرِّيَاءُ فِي الْفَدَّادِينَ أَهْلِ الْخَيْلِ وَالْوَبَرِ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The main source of disbelief is in the east. Pride and arrogance are characteristics of the owners of horses and camels, and those 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."

bukhari:3499Abū al-Yamān > Shuʿayb > al-Zuhrī > Abū Salamah b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman > Abū Hurayrah

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Pride and arrogance are characteristics of the rural bedouins while calmness is found among the owners of sheep. Belief is Yemenite, and wisdom is also Yemenite i.e. the Yemenites are well-known for their true belief and wisdom)."  

Abu ʿAbdullah (Al-Bukhari) said, "Yemen was called so because it is situated to the right of the Kaʿba, and Sham was called so because it is situated to the left of the Kaʿba."

muslim:52dYaḥyá b. Yaḥyá > Mālik > Abū al-Zinād > al-Aʿraj > Abū Hurayrah

The summit of unbelief is towards the East and the pride and conceitedness is found among the owners of horses and camels who are rude and uncivil, people of the tents, and tranquillity is found among those who rear goats and sheep.  

مسلم:٥٢dحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

tirmidhi:2243Qutaybah > ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Muḥammad > al-ʿAlāʾ b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman from his father > Abū Hurayrah

"Faith is Yemeni, and disbelief is from the direction of the east. Tranquility is for the people of sheep, and wickedness and Riya is in those who boast among the people of horses and the people of camels. Al-Masih – that is Ad-Dajjal- will come, and when he reaches behind Uhud, the angels will turn his face to the direction of Ash-Sham, and is there that he will be destroyed.” (Sahih)  

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ḥasan-Ṣaḥīḥ.

Malik related to me from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The head of kufr is towards the east. Boasting and price is among people who have horses and camels. The loud-voiced people are the people of tents (the Bedouins). Tranquillity is with the people who have sheep."  

مالك:٥٤-١٥حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Faith is in Yemen, and knowledge is in Yemen, and wisdom is in Yemen. The people of Yemen have the softest hearts and the most tender hearts. Disbelief lies to the east, and pride and arrogance lie within the horsemen and camel-herders. The people of piety and righteousness are the people of livestock. And tranquility is among the people of sheep."

[Machine] Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: "Eman takes a turn around Yanbu', and unbelief takes a turn facing the east, and tranquility descends among the people of goats, and pride and restlessness amongst the cobblers and awards righteousness to the horsemen. War is bound to come, and the smallest group (of fighters) will be consisted of one hundred, until when the enemy surrounds them, Allah would set their ranks right and would bless them with martyrs (i.e. they would be blessed with martyrdom on the battlefield). And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:" There would come forth a person from my Ummah who shall be called Mahdi and he shall fill the earth with justice as it has been filled with oppression and tyranny.
