Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4488 — The signs before the Hour, such

وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، ثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ - هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ - عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : أَلَا أُرِيكُمُ الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ دَابَّةَ الْأَرْضِ تَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ ، فَضَرَبَ بِعَصَاهُ الشِّقَّ الَّذِي فِي الصَّفَا ، فَقَالَ : وَإِنَّهَا ذَاتُ رِيشٍ وَزَغَبٍ ، وَإِنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ ثُلُثُهَا حُضْرَ الْفَرَسِ الْجَوَادِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ ، وَإِنَّهَا لَتَمُرُّ عَلَيْهِمْ ، وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَفِرُّونَ مِنْهَا إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ ، فَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ : أَتَرَوْنَ الْمَسَاجِدَ تُنْجِيكُمْ مِنِّي ؟ فَتَخْطِمُهُمْ ، فَيُسَاقُونَ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ ، وَيَقُولُونَ : يَا مُؤْمِنُ ! يَا كَافِرُ ! .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said (to the people): "Shall I not show you the place about which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Indeed, the creature of the earth (Dabbat al-Ard) will emerge from this very spot'?" Then he struck with his staff a crack in (Mount) al-Safa and further said: "And indeed that creature will have feathers and thick hair. One third of it will keep emerging for three days and three nights continuously, at the pace of a thoroughbred, swift horse's run. And when that creature passes by the people, they will flee from it (in terror) and take refuge in the mosques. Then the creature will address them and say: 'Do you think that these mosques will save you from me?' Then it will put a mark on their noses (to distinguish faith from disbelief), after which they will move about in the markets in such a way that people (because of these marks) will be calling out to one another: 'O believer!' and 'O disbeliever!'"
Imam Abu Ya'la recorded this narration in his Musnad. Its chain contains Layth bin Abi Sulaym, who is da'if (weak) because of the weakness of his memory; however, the emergence of the creature is mentioned in the verse of the Noble Qur'an, "And when the word befalls them, We will bring forth for them a creature from the earth that will speak to them, (saying) that the people were not certain of Our signs" [Surah al-Naml: 82], and in other sahih hadith.
