পৃষ্ঠা 294: তৃতীয় অধ্যায়: কিয়ামতের মহা আলামতসমূহ (মাহদী, দাজ্জাল, ঈসা (আ.), ইয়াজুজ-মাজুজ, পশ্চিমাকাশে সূর্যোদয়)

Mention of the emergence of the Beast (Dabbat al-Ard) and what has been narrated concerning it.

"...a piercing scream, then it will face the West and utter a piercing scream, then it will face Yemen and utter a piercing scream."

In another narration: "No believer will remain except that it will make a white mark upon his forehead (or place of prostration) with the staff of Moses, and that mark will spread until his face becomes bright white from it. And no disbeliever will remain except that it will make a black mark upon his face with the seal of Solomon, and that mark will spread until his face becomes jet black from it, to the extent that people will trade in the marketplaces saying, 'How much is this, O believer?' and 'How much is this, O disbeliever?' And this one will say, 'Take it, O believer,' and that one will say, 'Take it, O disbeliever.'"

In another narration: "It will approach a man while he is praying in the mosque and say, 'Prayer is not of your true concern; this is nothing but a pretext for seeking protection and ostentation.' Then it will brand his nose and write between his eyes: 'Liar'."

It has previously been mentioned that it will kill Iblis or brand his snout.

As for its emergence: it has been narrated that it will appear three times throughout history; it will make an emergence from the farthest reaches of the desert.

In another narration: "From the farthest reaches of Yemen, and the mention of it will not reach the Town (meaning Mecca). Then it will remain concealed for a long period, after which it will make another emergence lesser than that, and mention of it will rise among the desert dwellers, and the news of it will enter the Town (meaning Mecca)."

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Then, while the people are in the mosque most sacred and honored in the sight of Allah, the Sacred Mosque (al-Masjid al-Haram), nothing will startle them except that it will be bellowing between the Corner (al-Rukn) and the Station of Ibrahim (al-Maqam), shaking the dust off its head, whereupon the people will scatter away from it in all directions."

This was narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas and Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with them), and some chains of transmission for the hadith of Hudhayfah are authentic.

And from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) as well: that it will emerge from one of the valleys of Tihamah, meaning that this will occur in one of its appearances, whereas the former description pertains to its final emergence.
