Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta'aala) said:
"And when the Word is fulfilled against them (the unjust), We shall
produce from the earth a Beast to (face) them: it will speak to them..."
[an-Naml (27):82]
Ibn 'Abbaas, al-Hasan and Qataadah said that "It will speak to them"
(tukallimuhum) means that it will address them. Ibn Jareer suggested that
it means that the Beast will address them with the words "...for that
mankind did not believe with assurance in Our Signs..." [an-Naml (27):82
- latter part of the Ayah]
Ibn Jareer reported this from 'Alee and 'Ata'. It was reported from Ibn
'Abbaas that tukallimuhum means that the Beast will cut them, i.e., it will
write the word "Kaafir" on the forehead of the unbeliever. It was also
reported from Ibn 'Abbaas that he will both address them and cut them;
this suggestion incorporates both of the previous suggestions; and Allaah
knows best.
We have already mentioned the Hadeeth of Hudhayfah ibn Usayd, in
which the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) is reported to have
said,
"The Hour will not come until you see ten signs: the smoke; the Dajjaal;
the Beast; the sun rising from the West; the descent of Jesus son of
Mary; Gog and Magog; and three land-slides - one in the East, one in the
West, and one in Arabia, at the end of which fire will burst forth from the
direction of Aden (Yemen) and drive people to the place of their final
assembly."
Abu Hurairah said,
"The Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said, 'Hasten to do good
deeds before six things happen: the rising of the sun from the West, the
smoke, the Dajjaal, the Beast, the (death) of one of you or general
tribulation.' " [Muslim]
Bareedah said,
"The Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) took me to a place in the
desert, near Makkah. It was a dry piece of land surrounded by sand. The
Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said, 'The Beast will emerge
from this place.' It was a very small area." [Ibn Maajah] [1]
It was reported from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe
wa sallam) said,
"The Beast of the Earth will emerge, and will have with it the rod of
Moses and the ring of Solomon."
It was also reported that he said,
"(The Beast) will destroy the noses of the unbelievers with the ring, - so

that people seated around one table will begin to address one another
with the words "O Believer!" or "O Unbeliever!" (i.e., everyone's status will
become clear) [Ibn Maajah] [2]
'Abd Allaah ibn 'Amr said,
"I memorised a Hadeeth from the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam)
which I have not forgotten since. I heard the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe
wa sallam) say, 'The first of the signs (of the Hour) to appear will be the
rising of the sun from the West and the appearance of the Beast before
the people in the forenoon. Whichever of these two events happens first,
the other will follow immediately.' " [Muslim] [3]
That is to say, these will be the first extraordinary signs. The Dajjaal, the
descent of Jesus (alayhi-salam), the emergence of Gog and Magog, are
less unusual in that they are all human beings. But the emergence of the
Beast, whose form will be very strange, its addressing the people and
classifying them according to their faith or unbelief, is something truly
extraordinary. This is the first of the earthly signs, as the rising of the sun
from the West is the first of the heavenly signs.

The Rising of the Sun from the West
Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta'aala) says:
"Do they then wait for anything other than that the angels should come to
them, or that your Lord should come, or that some of the Signs of your
Lord should come (i.e. portents of the Hour e.g., arising of the sun from
the west)! The day that some of the Signs of your Lord do come, no good
will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before, nor earned
good (by performing deeds of righteousness) through his Faith. Say:
'Wait you! we (too) are waiting.'" [al-An'aam (6):158]
It was reported from Abu Sa'eed al-Khudree that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu
'alayhe wa sallam) explained,
"The day that some of the Signs of your Lord do come, no good will it do
to a person to believe then...", referring to the rising of the sun from the
West. [Ahmad] [1]

Abu Hurairah said,
"The Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said, 'The Hour will not
come until the sun rises from the West. When the people see it, whoever
is living on earth will believe, but that will be the time when - No good will
it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before then' "
[Bukhaaree] [2]
It was also reported from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu
'alayhe wa sallam) said,
"The Hour will not come until the sun rises from the West. When it rises
and the people see it, they will all believe. But that will be the time when
'No good will it do to a person to believe then.' " [Bukhaaree] [3]
It was reported from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe
wa sallam) said,
"There are three things which, if they appear, 'No good will it do to a
person to believe then, if he believed not before, nor earned good (by
performing deeds of righteousness) through his Faith' They are: the rising
of the sun from the West, the Dajjaal, and the Beast of the Earth."
[Ahmad, Muslim, Tirmidhee] [4]
Abu Dharr said,
"The Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) asked me, 'Do you know
where the sun goes when it sets?' I said, 'I do not know' He said, 'It
travels until it prostrates itself beneath the Throne, and asks for
permission to rise again. But a time will come when it will be told, 'Go
back whence you came.' That will be the time when 'No good will it do to
a person to believe then, if he believed not before, nor earned good (by
performing deeds of righteousness) through his Faith' " [Bukhaaree] [5]
'Amr ibn Jareer said,
"Three Muslims were sitting with Marwaan in Madeenah, and heard him
say, whilst talking about the Signs of the Hour, that the first of them would
be the appearance of the Dajjaal. The three went to 'Abd Allaah ibn 'Amr,
and told him what they had heard Marwaan say concerning the Signs.
'Abd Allaah said, 'Marwan has not said much. I memorised a Hadeeth
like that from the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) which I have
not forgotten since. I heard the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam)
say:
"The first of the signs will be the rising of the sun from the West, and the
emergence of the Beast in the forenoon. Whichever of the two comes
first, the other will follow immediately"
Then 'Abd Allaah, who was widely-read, said,
"I think that the first to happen will be the rising of the sun from the West.
