Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us, Husayn ibn al-Hasan narrated to us, Ibn 'Awn narrated to us from Nafi' from Ibn 'Umar, who said:
The Prophet) said, "O Allah! Bless our Sham and our Yemen." People said, "Our Najd as well." The Prophet again said, "O Allah! Bless our Sham and Yemen." They said again, "Our Najd as well." On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There will appear earthquakes and afflictions, and from there will come out the side of the head of Satan اللهم بارك لنا في شامنا وفي يمننا، قال: قالوا وفي نجدنا؟ قال: قال اللهم بارك لنا في شامنا وفي يمننا، قال: قالوا وفي نجدنا؟ قال: قال هناك الزلازل والفتن، وبها يطلع قرن الشيطان
Sahih al-Bukhari 1037
.

The Shaykh : The point of reference here is his statement:
There are earthquakes and trials there. هناك الزلازل والفتن
It has been mentioned to us previously that these earthquakes can be understood as physical earthquakes, which are the shaking of the earth, or that they include both physical and spiritual earthquakes.
And in his statement (peace and blessings be upon him):
O Allah! Bless our Sham and our Yemen. اللهم بارك لنا في شامنا وفي يمننا
Sahih al-Bukhari 1037
Sham is what is north of the city, and Yemen is what is south of it.
They said: "And in our Najd?" قالوا وفي نجدنا ؟
And Najd is the elevated place. It was said that the Najd referred to is the one we are in here, and it was said that the intended meaning is Najd of Iraq, because other hadiths were reported mentioning the East, from which earthquakes and fitan (trials, discord or temptation) will emerge. This indicates that the intended meaning is Najd of Iraq. Some scholars have authored a treatise on this and established that the intended meaning is Najd of Iraq, not Najd of the Arabian Peninsula.
And his statement:
and from there will come out the side of the head of Satan. بها يطلع قرن الشيطان
Sahih al-Bukhari 1037
means the sun. For when the sun rises, Shaytan (Satan) emerges between the horns of Shaytan (Satan). When the polytheists see it, they prostrate to it, and in reality they are prostrating to Shaytan (Satan), because Shaytan (Satan) takes on a form, with his horns on the side of the sun when it rises, so the polytheists prostrate to it. Yes.
