Are the Hadiths "Indeed, I perceive the breath of the Most Merciful from the direction of Yemen" and "The army of Aden-Abyan" authentic from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?
The that states: "Indeed, I find the breath of the Most Merciful from here" — pointing towards Yemen — was authenticated by Al-Albani after he had initially classified it as weak. Scholars have interpreted its meaning. Al-Baghawi said: "Allah relieved distress from the believers through them (the Ansar), and they are Yemenis." Ibn Qutaybah mentioned that the Ansar were from Yemen, and that Allah relieved distress from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, through them. Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said: "The meaning of the hadith is that the people of Yemen are those whom Allah loves and who love Him. They fought the apostates and conquered various lands, and through them, the Most Merciful relieved distress from the believers."
