أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " الإِيمَانُ يَمَانٍ ، وَالْكُفْرُ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ ، وَالسَّكِينَةُ فِي أَهْلِ الْغَنَمِ ، وَالْفَخْرُ وَالرِّيَاءُ فِي الْفَدَّادِينَ أَهْلِ الخَيْلِ وَالْوَبَرِ ، يَأْتِي الْمَسِيحُ ، حَتَّى إِذَا جَاوَزَ أُحُدًا صَرَفَتِ الْمَلائِكَةُ وَجْهَهُ قِبَلَ الشَّامِ ، وَهُنَالِكَ يَهْلِكُ " .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Faith is Yemeni and disbelief will be from the direction of the east. Among those who herd goats there is tranquility, whereas among the Bedouins who keep horses there is pride (i.e., arrogance) and show-off. The Dajjal will come from that direction until he crosses the Uhud mountain, then the angels will turn him towards Syria, where he will meet his destruction.
