(425, 426, and 427), al-Tahawi in Mushkil al-Athar (803), al-Qudaʿi in Musnad al-Shihab (163), and al-Tabarani in al-Muʿjam al-Kabir (17, nos. 564, 569, and 577), through two routes from Qays ibn Abi Hazim, from him, with this wording—as found in al-Bukhari:

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, gestured with his hand toward Yemen and said:

“Faith is Yemeni—here. Indeed, harshness and hardness of heart are among the faddadin, at the roots of the camels’ tails, where the two horns of Satan rise: among Rabiʿah and Mudar.”

Faddadin is the plural of faddan, referring to the cattle used for ploughing. This is stated in al-Fath (6/352), where he also mentioned other interpretations of its meaning.

As for the hadith of Ibn ʿAbbas:

Al-Tabarani narrated it in al-Muʿjam al-Kabir (12553), as did Ibn ʿAsakir (2/138), through the route of Ishaq ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn Kaysan, from his father, from Saʿid ibn Jubayr, from Ibn ʿAbbas, attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. It includes:

“Indeed, there—meaning Iraq—is the horn of Satan and the stirring of tribulations, while harshness is in the East.”

Ishaq and his father are both weak, as stated in Lisan al-Mizan (1/365–366) and al-Tahdhib (5/371), both by al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar.

Al-Mundhiri said in al-Targhib (2/144):

“Its narrators are trustworthy!”

Al-Haythami likewise followed him in al-Majmaʿ (3/305). This was an error on the part of both of them, which I explained in al-Taʿliq al-Raghib (2/144).
