Sunan Ibn Majah 4066 — The Beast of the Earth

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ , حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ , عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ , عَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ , عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " تَخْرُجُ الدَّابَّةُ وَمَعَهَا خَاتَمُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ , وَعَصَا مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَام , فَتَجْلُو وَجْهَ الْمُؤْمِنِ بِالْعَصَا , وَتَخْطِمُ أَنْفَ الْكَافِرِ بِالْخَاتِمِ , حَتَّى أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْحِوَاءِ لَيَجْتَمِعُونَ , فَيَقُولُ : هَذَا يَا مُؤْمِنُ , وَيَقُولُ : هَذَا يَا كَافِرُ ".
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “The Beast will emerge and will have with it the seal of Sulaiman bin Dawud and the staff of Musa bin ‘Imran (as). It will make the faces of the believers shine with the staff, and will mark the noses of the disbelievers with the seal, until the inhabitants of a cluster of houses will gather together; then one will say ‘O believer!’ And to another ‘O disbeliever.’”
قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْقَطَّانُ , حَدَّثَنَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَحْيى , حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل , حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ , فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ , وَقَالَ فِيهِ مَرَّةً : فَيَقُولُ : هَذَا يَا مُؤْمِنُ , وَهَذَا يَا كَافِرُ .
( The student of Imam Ibn Majah ) Abu Al-Hasan Qattan has ( also with his high chain of narration ) narrated a similar hadith. And in it, it is mentioned once: So he will say: O believer! And this ( will say ): O disbeliever!

Brief Explanation
1؎: That is, the believer and the disbeliever will be recognized by their respective marks, so every person will call a believer by the title of "believer" upon seeing the sign of faith, and will call a disbeliever "disbeliever" upon seeing the sign of disbelief. In short, at that time, faith and disbelief will no longer remain hidden.
