Hazrat Abu Aliah narrates from Hazrat Abi that Allah Almighty’s statement { قُلْ ہُوَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَی أَنْ یَبْعَثَ عَلَیْکُمْ عَذَابًا مِنْ فَوْقِکُمْ أَوْ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِکُمْ أَوْ یَلْبِسَکُمْ شِیَعًا وَیُذِیقَ بَعْضَکُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ }“Say: He is able to send upon you a punishment from above you or from beneath your feet, or to confuse you in sects and make you taste the violence of one another.”He said that these are four things, and each one of them will certainly occur. Two of them passed after the twenty-five (25) years of the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) demise: they were divided into groups and tasted the violence of one another. And two will inevitably occur: sinking into the earth and a rain of stones.

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Umar that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say in his supplication: O Allah! I seek refuge with You from being suddenly destroyed from beneath me. The meaning was through being swallowed up.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar that he said: The animal will emerge on the night of Muzdalifah while people are heading towards Mina. It will make them ride between the hind part and the tail. No hypocrite will be spared except that it will mark him; it will touch the believer. At that time, people will become even more wicked than the Dajjal.

It is narrated from Ibrahim that it was said that the beast of the earth (animal) will emerge from Makkah Mukarramah.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: This animal will emerge from the place of Ajyad.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar that he said: That animal will emerge from the place of Ajyad during the days of Tashreeq while people will be in Mina. He said: This is the reason why the one who comes first among the pilgrims is congratulated when he brings the people safely.

It is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: When the first of the (major) signs among the signs (of the Day of Judgment) appears, the pens will be lifted, bodies will bear witness to deeds, and the noble scribes (angels) will be stopped from writing.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Alia that he said: There will be a gap of six months between the first sign and the last sign, and during this period, the signs will occur one after another, just as pearls fall one after another when a string breaks.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira that he said: There will be an interval of eight months between the first sign and the last sign.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ka'b that he said: It is as if I am seeing six hundred thousand Arabs in the front ranks of the one-eyed Dajjal's army, all wearing green sheets, and they will surpass me in affirmation regarding the trials that I will see emerging from them.
