Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘The Beast will emerge carrying the ring of Sulayman and the staff of Musa. With the ring it will brighten the believer’s face and mark the disbeliever’s nose. Then, when people gather around their dining spreads, one will say, “Here, believer,” and another, “Here, disbeliever”; one will be called this, and another that.’
Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan report. This hadith about the Beast of the earth is also transmitted from Abu Hurayrah through another route. Related reports are narrated from Abu Umamah and Hudhayfah ibn Usayd.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic calls the sign-bearing creature the Beast and preserves the contrasting marks on believer and disbeliever.
