First of all you should advise your Mushrik pirs to stop their naked shirk and grave worshiping as shirk is the biggest of all sins and Allah S.W.T will never forgive it. Tawheed is the base of our deen and anyone who compromises it has no right to teach us about Saudis or any other country.
Alhamdolellah your knowledge is obscured and based on false tales of your mushrik pirs. I am not surprise and was expecting from you the same as it is the manhaj of grave worshipers to stretch the meanings of Quran and Ahadith too far so it’s meaning is changed totally. This is the only weapon you have to attack those who have closed your centres of naked shirk and grave worshiping and kicked your pirs out of the land of Hijaz. Alhamdolellah
By the way the ahadith you mentioned are sahih, now let’s see who fits in this scenario? Saudi or Iaraq? (Centers of most fitnas and your Sufis)
The enemies of the salafis try to use the hadith of najd to show that it was prophesisying Sheikh Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab.
The place mentioned by prophet Muhammad S.A.W is your center of Pirs Iraq and not the Center of Tawheed Saudi Arabia. Lets see these ahadith with the eyes of great mohaddissen and Shareh Ahadith Ahafiz Ibne Hajr Asqalanee and Imam Nowawi.
Ibn Hajr said: "al-Khattaabee said:
"the najd in the direction of the east, and for the one who is in Madeenah then his Najd would be the desert of Iraaq and it's regions for this is to the east of the People of Madeenah. The basic meaning of Najd is that which is raised/elevated from the earth in contravention to al-Gawr for that is what is lower than it. Tihaamah [the coastal plain along the south-western and southern shores of the Arabian Peninsula] is entirely al-Gawr and Mecca is in Tihaamah.'[...] by this [saying of al-Khattaabee] the weakness of the saying of ad-Daawodee is understood that 'Najd is in the direction of Iraaq' [min Naahiya al-Iraaq] for he suggests that Najd is a specific place. This is not the case, rather everything that is elevated with respect to what adjoins it is called Najd and the lower area called Gawr." Fath al-Baaree 13/58-59

[al-Fath al-Bari, 13/47]
Ibn Hajar Asqalani said after quoting the words of al-Khattaabee explaining the meaning of Qarn (horn):
"and others have said that the People of the East were disbelievers at that time and the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, informed us that the trials and tribulations would arise from that direction and it was as he said. And the first of the trials that arose, arose from the direction of the east and they were the reason for the splitting of the Muslim ranks, and this is what Satan loves and delights in. Likewise the innovations appeared from that direction." [Fath al-Baaree 13/58 in commentary to the hadeeth of Najd]
Imam Nawawi makes a claim in his Sharh Saheeh Muslim 2/29 that it had to with Dajjal coming from the East. Furthermore, it is shown in Najd Qarnu ash-Shaytaan that there is 13 places that have been labeled as Najd depending a lot on one's own location, and from Madina, Najd would be Iraq.
For those who remain sceptical of the clear and specified texts on this matter and seek to fit the evidence around their opinions rather than vice versa, they need to understand that they can not generalise what is made specific and make specific what is generalised without evidence.
Here are two further hadeeth that reinforce the one I quoted previously and explicitly mention IRAQ and EAST in the same context:
- Ibn Abbas narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made the following du'a:
????? ???? ??? ?? ?????????? ? ????? ??? ?? ????? ?????? . ???? ??? ?? ????? ?? ??? ???? ??? ?????? . ??? : ?? ??? ??? ??????? ? ????? ????? ? ??? ?????? ???????
"O Allah bestow your blessings in our measuring and bestow your blessings on our Shaam and our Yemen." A person from amongst the people said, "O Prophet of Allah and our Iraq?" He said, "indeed there is the Horn of Shaytan, and the trials and tribulations and indeed harshness/estrangement is in the East." [Mu'jam al-Kabeer, Tabarani - with all narrators in the isnad being thiqat]
-Saalim ibn Abdullah ibn 'Umar said:
?? ??? ?????? ?? ?????? ?? ?????????????? ??????? ???? ??? ??? ???? ?? ??? ???? ???? ???? ???? ??? ???? ???? ???????? ?? ?????? ???? ?? ?? ??? ????? ???? ??? ?????? ?? ??? ???? ???? ???????????? ???? ????? ???? ???
"O people of Iraq, it is strange that you ask about the minor sins but commit the major sins. I heard my father, Abdullaah ibn 'Umar narrating that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying while motioning his hand to the East: "Indeed fitnah would come from this side, from wherein appear the Horns of Shaytan and you would strike the necks of one another..." [Saheeh Muslim]
These are some of the ahadeeth that speak of Iraq being the 'Horn of Shaytan' within the same text signifying 'East'. We can conclude and say that fitnah and other problems will generally come from the East (inc. Dajjal and Ya'jooj wa Ma'jooj etc), while the description of the 'Horn of Shaytan' has been specified to Iraq. This way, we harmonise the various texts and put and end to bickering and speculating over other details.
Furthermore, the interpretation of Najd favored by many anti-Wahabi, anti-Saudis is in rejection to a number of ahadeeth which praise the inhabitants of Saudi as a beneficial people, is found in Sahih Bukhari:
Narrated abu huraira: I have loved the people of the tribe of Bani tamim ever since I heard, three things, Allah's Apostle said about them. I heard him saying, These people (of the tribe of Bani tamim) would stand firm against Ad-Dajjal." When the Sadaqat (gifts of charity) from that tribe came, Allah's Apostle said, "These are the Sadaqat (i.e. charitable gifts) of our folk." 'Aisha had a slave-girl from that tribe, and the Prophet said to 'Aisha, "Manumit her as she is a descendant of Ishmael (the Prophet)." (Bukhari Book #46, Hadith #719)(Bukhari Book #59, Hadith #652)(Sahih Al-Muslim. Book #031, Hadith #6133,6134)
(Bukhari Book #46, Hadith #719)
(Bukhari Book #59, Hadith #652)
Ibn Hajr al-Asqalaanee said, "this hadeeth also contains a clear mention of the excellence and superiority of Bani Tameem." [Fath 5/217]
Also from Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal:
"do not say of Bani Tameem anything but good, for indeed they are the severest of people in attacking the Dajjaal."
Al-Haythamee says: "its narrators are those of the Saheeh." [Mujma 10/48 chpt: What is reported concerning Bani Tameem]
Banu Tameem are the majority of people of the so-called Najd (Saudi Arabia). To label Najd as that area of Saudi Arabia would be in contradiction of the many hadeeth relating to Bani Tameem especially those in which they fight the Dajjal, who comes from the Najd that is to the East.
History has proved that indead Iraq is the land where all fitnas originated from and various silsilas of sufism and grave worshiping also emerged from this land.
Now listen to this maulana in your own language commenting on your nonsense propaganda against Shaikh Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahab. But I am sure you are so blinded by your grave worshiping and mushrik pirs that you don’t even understand the correct meaning of Quran and Ahadith.
I knew you would give such an answer and break your own rules. You had to quote Ibn Hajr and Nawawi to save the skin of your Najdi molvis. This is what you Najdis do to bail your molvis out and I always give them the same befitting reply. Why the pick and choose ? Why do you quote Ibn Hajr and Nawawi when it is in your favour and why don't you quote them when they go against your beliefs ? I will quote in the later part of my post their views and beliefs. First let me show what Najd was according to the Hadees of Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim (Sihah Sitta - all 6) instead of a weaker Hadees book Majmu that you quoted.
Confirmation of this identification is easily located in the hadith literature, which contains numerous references to Najd, all of which clearly denote Central Arabia. To take a few examples out of many dozens: there is the hadith narrated by Abu Daud (Salat al-Safar, 15), which runs: ‘We went out to Najd with Allah’s Messenger (s.w.s.) until we arrived at Dhat al-Riqa‘, where he met a group from Ghatafan [a Najdite tribe].’ In Tirmidhi (Hajj, 57), there is the record of an encounter between the Messenger (s.w.s.) and a Najdi delegation which he received at Arafa (see also Ibn Maja, Manasik, 57). In no such case does the Sunna indicate that Iraq was somehow included in the Prophetic definition of ‘Najd’.
Further evidence can be cited from the cluster of hadiths which identify the miqat points for pilgrims. In a hadith narrated by Imam Nasa’i (Manasik al-Hajj, 22), ‘A’isha (r.a.) declared that ‘Allah’s Messenger (s.w.s.) established the miqat for the people of Madina at Dhu’l-Hulayfa, for the people of Syria and Egypt at al-Juhfa, for the people of Iraq at Dhat Irq, and for the people of Najd at Qarn, and for the Yemenis at Yalamlam.’ Imam Muslim (Hajj, 2) narrates a similar hadith: ‘for the people of Madina it is Dhu’l-Hulayfa - while on the other road it is al-Juhfa - for the people of Iraq it is Dhat Irq, for the people of Najd it is Qarn, and for the people of Yemen it is Yalamlam.’
Book 007, Number 2666: Sahih Muslim
Abu Zubair heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) as saying as he was asked about (the place for entering upon the) state of Ihram: I heard (and I think he carried it directly to the Apostle of Allah) him saying: For the people of Medina Dhu'l-Hulaifa is the place for entering upon the state of Ihram, and for (the people coming through the other way, i. e. Syria) it is Juhfa; for the people of Iraq it is Dbat al-'Irq; for the people uf Najd it is Qarn (al-Manazil) and for the people of Yemen it is Yalamlam.
The following hadith is from Sahih Bukhari:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Dinar:
Ibn ‘Umar said, “The Prophet fixed Qarn as the Miqat (for assuming the Ihram) for the people of Najd, and Al-Juhfa for the people of Sham, and Dhul-Hulaifa for the people of Medina.” Ibn ‘Umar added, “I heard this from the Prophet, and I have been informed that the Prophet said, ‘The Miqat for the Yemenites is Yalamlam.’ “When Iraq was mentioned, he said, “At that time it was not a Muslim country.” [Sahih Bukhari Volume 9, Book 92, Number 443]
Najd in the Hadith
There are many hadiths in which the Messenger (s.w.s.) praised particular lands. It is significant that although Najd is the closest of lands to Makka and Madina, it is not praised by any one of these hadiths. The first hadith cited above shows the Messenger’s willingness to pray for Syria and Yemen, and his insistent refusal to pray for Najd. And wherever Najd is mentioned, it is clearly seen as a problematic territory. Consider, for instance, the following noble hadith:
Amr ibn Abasa said: ‘Allah’s Messenger (s.w.s.) was one day reviewing the horses, in the company of Uyayna ibn Hisn ibn Badr al-Fazari. [...] Uyayna remarked: “The best of men are those who bear their swords on their shoulders, and carry their lances in the woven stocks of their horses, wearing cloaks, and are the people of the Najd.” But Allah’s Messenger (s.w.s.) replied: “You lie! Rather, the best of men are the men of the Yemen. Faith is a Yemeni, the Yemen of [the tribes of] Lakhm and Judham and Amila. [...] Hadramawt is better than the tribe of Harith; one tribe is better than another; another is worse [...] My Lord commanded me to curse Quraysh, and I cursed them, but he then commanded me to bless them twice, and I did so [...] Aslam and Ghifar, and their associates of Juhaina, are better than Asad and Tamim and Ghatafan and Hawazin, in the sight of Allah on the Day of Rising. [...] The most numerous tribe in the Garden shall be [the Yemeni tribes of] Madhhij and Ma’kul.’ (Ahmad ibn Hanbal and al-Tabarani, by sound narrators.
The Hadees in which Tamim tribe is praised that you quote is weak (zaeef). One of the first rebellion during Rashidun Caliphate was led by Bani Tamim. They refused to pay Zakat. Read some proper books instead of selective Najdi literature. Malik bin Nuwayrah was the head of Bani Tamim who revolted against Hazrat Abu Bakr r.a. He was finally killed by Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed r.a. (good job Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed you killed that Jahannami Najdi Tamimi rebel). He deserved to be killed. How dare he fight against muslims. He was killed and killed for good.
Later on it was another head of Bani Tamim (another Kharji) who formed a new sect called Ibadi in 708 a.d. His name was Abdullah ibn Ibad al Tamimi. The majority of people who were grouped as Kharjis by Hazrat Ali r.a. belonged to Bani Tamim.
