[Machine] When the verse "When the victory of Allah and the conquest comes" [Surah An-Nasr, verse 1] was revealed to the end of the Surah, the Prophet ﷺ thought it was referring to his own death. He became very serious and put more effort into matters of the hereafter. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "The conquest has come and the victory of Allah has come and the people from Yemen have come." A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, who are the people from Yemen?" He replied, "They are a people with gentle hearts, their hearts are accommodating to faith, they are people of Yemen and wisdom is Yemeni and understanding is Yemeni."  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٦٤٨أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَالْفَتْحُ} [النصر 1] إِلَى آخِرِ السُّورَةِ قَالَ نُعِيَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَفْسُهُ حِينَ أُنْزِلَتْ فَأَخَذَ فِي أَشَدِّ مَا كَانَ اجْتِهَادًا فِي أَمْرِ الْآخِرَةِ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ «جَاءَ الْفَتْحُ وَجَاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَجَاءَ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ؟ قَالَ «قَوْمٌ رَقِيقَةٌ قُلُوبُهُمْ لَيِّنَةٌ قُلُوبُهُمُ الْإِيمَانُ يَمَانٌ وَالْحِكْمَةُ يَمَانِيَةٌ وَالْفِقْهُ يَمَانٌ»

[Machine] "When the verse {When the victory of Allah and the conquest comes} was revealed until the end of the Surah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I have been given the status of a person who exerted the greatest effort in matters of the Hereafter.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, 'The victory of Allah and the conquest has come, and the people of Yemen have come.' A man asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, who are the people of Yemen?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, 'They are a gentle-hearted people, their hearts are full of faith and understanding.'"
