حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ آدَمَ ابْنُ بِنْتِ أَزْهَرَ السَّمَّانِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جَدِّي، أَزْهَرُ السَّمَّانُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي شَامِنَا اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي يَمَنِنَا " . قَالُوا وَفِي نَجْدِنَا . فَقَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي شَامِنَا وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي يَمَنِنَا " . قَالُوا وَفِي نَجْدِنَا . قَالَ " هُنَالِكَ الزَّلاَزِلُ وَالْفِتَنُ وَبِهَا أَوْ قَالَ مِنْهَا يَخْرُجُ قَرْنُ الشَّيْطَانِ " . هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ أَيْضًا عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .

The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Said: "O Allah Bless Us In Our Sham! O Allah Bless Us In Our Yemen." They Said: "And In Our Najd" He Said: "O Allah Bless Us In Our Sham And Bless Us In Our Yemen." They Said: "And In Our Najd" He Said: "Earthquakes Are There, And Tribulations Are There." Or He Said: "The Horn Of Shaitan Comes From There."

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 3953
This Hadith about Sham and Yemen records the Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم supplication: 'O Allah bless us in our Sham! O Allah bless us in our Yemen.' When people asked about Najd, he repeated the dua for Sham and Yemen. When they asked again about Najd, he said that earthquakes and tribulations are there, or that the horn of Shaitan comes from there. The core topic is blessing and fitnah. The narration clearly mentions repeated prayer for Sham and Yemen, and a warning connected to Najd. The explanation should stay with these words and not add later political or regional debates that are not in the provided Hadith text.
