I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the pulpit saying, "Verily, afflictions (will start) from here," pointing towards the east, "whence the side of the head of Satan comes out." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3511)
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ أَلَا إِنَّ الْفِتْنَةَ هُنَا يُشِيرُ إِلَى الْمَشْرِقِ مِنْ حَيْثُ يَطْلُعُ قَرْنُ الشَّيْطَانِ
