Summary
Malik transmits from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A'raj, from Abu Hurayra (may God be pleased with him), that the Prophet ﷺ said: the head of unbelief lies toward the east; pride and arrogance belong to the people of horses and camels, the fadaddin, the people of wool; and tranquillity belongs to the people of sheep. The editor explains the word 'fadaddin': those whose voices rise over their camels and horses. 1
