The emergence of the Dabbah in the end times and what has been reported about it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our brother has a question, saying: I hope you will mention to me several hadiths about the Dabbah; for I do not know much about it, and it is the one that will emerge in the end times?
Answer:
Allah has made clear its matter in His saying: [Surat al-Naml: 82], and authentic hadiths have come regarding it that it will emerge in the end times before the sun rises from the west or after it; whichever of the two occurs, the second will follow immediately after it.
As for the details of it and the description of its characteristics, I do not know anything established about it. It is only statements and narrations that contain weakness, and reports from some of the Salaf and from some of the People of the Book. However, there is no clear evidence regarding its characteristics, distinguishing its length, its legs, or the size of its body. As far as I know, there is no established hadith about it. However, its emergence is established; it will emerge in the end times. Yes.

Answer:
Allah has made clear its matter in His saying:
And when the word befalls them, We will bring forth for them a creature from the earth speaking to them, [saying] that the people were, of Our verses, not certain [in faith].
وَإِذَا وَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَخْرَجْنَا لَهُمْ دَابَّةً مِنَ الأَرْضِ تُكَلِّمُهُمْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا لا يُوقِنُونَAs for the details of it and the description of its characteristics, I do not know anything established about it.
