Some people call this region Najd al-Hijaz?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : They call this region Najd.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, this is a problem, because some of the people who rose up against Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "The Shaykh Muhammad is from Najd, and Najd is the horn of Satan." But the scholars refuted them, saying, "Najd is not east of the east for the people of Madinah. What is east of the people of Madinah is Iraq, whereas Najd is to their right if you are facing the east. And what is to the east is before Iraq. This is the closest view. And whoever follows the history knows this. That is, what happened to the people of Najd was not like what happened to the people of Iraq. Or is it true that Musaylimah the Liar appeared in Najd? Yes, he appeared, but he was dealt with without any notable fitnah (trial or discord)."
