Continuation of the explanation of the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): (Hasten to perform deeds before six things)

The Shaykh : We are still discussing the hadith: .
We spoke about the three preceding characteristics: the rising of the sun from the west, the smoke, and the Dajjal. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . The beast of the earth is the one whose mention came in the Noble Qur'an: . Regarding this beast, nothing has come in the authentic Sunnah that is more than what is contained in this hadith along with the mentioned verse. The common point is that it is a sign of the Hour. As for what is mentioned in some books that collect whatever is said in hadith, whether authentic or not, one should not rely on any of that. For example, here in a modern commentary on al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib, strange descriptions are mentioned based on weak hadiths. For instance, it says: it has four legs, and fuzz
, and feathers, and two wings, and it is said: it has the head of a bull, and so on. None of these descriptions is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) except what I hinted at earlier, that it is among the signs of the Hour. For example, what is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is: . Also, this hadith does not say more than that it is among the major signs of the Hour.
In another hadith, the rising of the sun and the beast are mentioned, and it contains this benefit. He (peace be upon him) said: . If the sun rises from the west before the emergence of the beast, then the emergence of the beast will follow it, or vice versa; if the beast emerges before the sun rises, then the sun will rise from the west after it. This is all that can be said about the beast of the earth, and anything else is mere conjecture and speculation that does not benefit the truth in any way.
