Is there a Hadith in which the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, pointed towards the East when he was asked about the source of danger or tribulations for his Ummah?
Al-Bukhari reported in his Sahih, on the authority of Ibn Umar, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, pointed towards the East and said: "Affliction is here, affliction is here, from where the horn of Satan emerges." In another narration, the Prophet prayed for blessings upon Sham (Syria) and Yemen, and when asked about Najd, he said: "There are earthquakes and afflictions there, and there the horn of Satan emerges."
