Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ هَا هُنَا أَرْضُ الْفِتَنِ وَأَشَارَ إِلَى الْمَشْرِقِ حَيْثُ يَطْلُعُ جِذْلُ الشَّيْطَانِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ أَوْ قَالَ ‏"‏ قَرْنُ الشَّيْطَانِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

‘Abd ibn Ḥumayd narrated to us; ‘Abd al-Razzāq narrated to us; Ma‘mar informed us, from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, from Ibn ‘Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah stood on the pulpit and said: “Here is the land of tribulation.” He pointed eastward, toward where the trunk of Satan rises—or, he said, “the horn of Satan.”

This is a ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ hadith.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic gives “the trunk of Satan” and then the alternate wording “the horn of Satan.” The English witness adds a phrase about the sun that is not present in this Arabic text.

  • جِذْلُ الشَّيْطَانِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ أَوْ قَالَ ‏"‏ قَرْنُ الشَّيْطَانِ

    The Arabic offers two expressions involving Satan; the English witness instead supplies “the horn of the sun” as its alternative.

    Should a parallel source be checked for this variant wording?
