(أَوَّلُ عَلَامَةٍ لِلْقِيَامَةِ شُرُوقُ الشَّمْسِ مِنَ المَغْرِبِ أَوْ دَابَّةُ الأَرْضِ)
(The first sign of the Day of Judgment is the sun rising from the west or the Beast of the Earth)
Hadith 5466
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٌو قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ أَوَّلَ الْآيَاتِ خُرُوجًا طُلُوعُ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا وَخُرُوجُ الدَّابَّةِ عَلَى النَّاسِ ضُحًى وَأَيُّهُمَا مَا كَانَتْ قَبْلَ صَاحِبَتِهَا فَالْأُخْرَى على أَثَرهَا قَرِيبا» رَوَاهُ مُسلم
`Abdallah b. `Amr told that he heard God's messenger say, "The first of the signs to appear will be the rising of the sun in its place of setting and the coming forth of the beast against mankind in the forenoon. Whichever of them comes first will soon be followed by the other." Muslim transmitted it.
