Ibn Fudail reported on the authority of his father that he heard Salim bin 'Abdullah bin 'Umar as saying: O people of Iraq, how strange it is that you ask about the minor sins but commit major sins? I heard from my father 'Abdullah bin 'Umar, narrating that he heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying while pointing his hand towards the east: Verily the turmoil would come from this side, from where appear the horns of Satan and you would strike the necks of one another; and Moses (ؑ) killed a person from among the people of Pharaoh unintentionally and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said: "You killed a person but We relieved you from the grief and tried you with (many a) trial" (xx. 40). Ahmad bin 'Umar reported this hadith from Salim, but he did not make a mention of the words: "I heard".

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: Iraq is situated to the east of Madinah, and in the early history of Islam, all the innovating sects emerged from this land. These sects became a cause of discord and division within the Ummah. "Najd" refers to a highland region. That is why Allamah Khattabi has written: "Whoever is in Madinah, his Najd is the desert of Iraq and its surrounding areas, and this is the east for the people of Madinah." (Takmilah, vol. 6, p. 315) For someone residing in Madinah, Najd is the desert of Iraq and its surroundings, and this is the east for the people of Madinah. Therefore, Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar radi Allahu anhu’s son, Hazrat Salim rahimahullah, considered its referent to be the people of Iraq, as will be mentioned ahead. (For details, see Man‘at al-Minhim, vol. 4, p. 357; this detail is worth seeing.)
