Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "When three things appear, no soul will benefit from its faith if it had not believed before or had not done any good in its state of faith: the Dajjal, the Beast (Dabbah), and the rising of the sun from the west."

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Abdush Shakoor Tirmidhi
Benefits: From the mentioned hadith, it is understood that after the appearance of the Dajjal, after the emergence of the Beast of the Earth (Dabbat al-Ard), and after the rising of the sun from the west, the faith of anyone will not be accepted. Because the faith that is accepted is that which is in the unseen, and when the signs become manifest, then even the non-Muslims will be certain.
➊ Dajjal: ... Near the Day of Judgment, a man will appear whom Allah, the Exalted, will grant the ability to perform certain acts as a trial for the people, just as Allah, the Exalted, has given Satan the ability to cast whispers as a trial for people. And his tribulation will be the greatest tribulation. As Hisham bin ‘Amir radi Allahu anhu says: I heard the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say that from Adam until the Day of Judgment, among the creation of Allah, there will be no tribulation greater than the tribulation of the Dajjal. [مسلم، كتاب الفتن ، واشراط الساعة ، باب بقية من احاديث الدجال] And the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to seek refuge from this tribulation.
➋ Beast of the Earth (Dabbat al-Ard): ... Near the Day of Judgment, a beast will emerge, after whose emergence no one’s repentance will be accepted. And this Beast of the Earth will speak to the people. As the statement of Allah, the Exalted, is: «وَإِذَاوَقَعَالْقَوْلُعَلَيْهِمْأَخْرَجْنَالَهُمْدَابَّةًمِّنَالْأَرْضِتُكَلِّمُهُمْأَنَّالنَّاسَكَانُوابِآيَاتِنَالَايُوقِنُونَ»[27-النمل:82] When the word will be fulfilled against them, We shall bring forth for them a beast from the earth who will speak to them, because mankind did not believe with certainty in Our signs.
➌ The rising of the sun from the west. [مسلم كتاب الاايمان ، رقم 399]
