Sunan Ibn Majah 4066 (Book 36, Hadith 141) #33421
The Seal and Staff of Prophets

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that a beast will come with the seal of Sulaiman bin Dawud and the staff of Musa bin 'Imran (as). It will make the faces of believers shine with its staff, and mark the noses of disbelievers with its seal.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said: "The Beast will emerge and will have with it the seal of Sulaiman bin Dawud and the staff of Musa bin 'Imran (as). It will make the faces of the believers shine with the staff, and will mark the noses of the disbelievers with the seal, until the inhabitants of a cluster of houses will gather together; then one will say 'O believer!’ And to another 'O disbeliever.’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ تَخْرُجُ الدَّابَّةُ وَمَعَهَا خَاتَمُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ وَعَصَا مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ فَتَجْلُو وَجْهَ الْمُؤْمِنِ بِالْعَصَا وَ تَخْطِمُ أَنْفَ الْكَافِرِ بِالْخَاتَمِ حَتَّى أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْحِوَاءِ لَيَجْتَمِعُونَ فَيَقُولُ هَذَا يَا مُؤْمِنُ وَيَقُولُ هَذَا يَا كَافِرُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْقَطَّانُ حَدَّثَنَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَقَالَ فِيهِ مَرَّةً فَيَقُولُ هَذَا يَا مُؤْمِنُ ‏.‏ وَهَذَا يَا كَافِرُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a beast that will come with two special items - the seal of Sulaiman bin Dawud and the staff of Musa bin 'Imran. These two items are symbols from two prophets in Islam - Prophet Sulaiman and Prophet Musa. The beast will use these items to distinguish between believers and disbelievers. It will make the faces of believers shine with its staff while it marks noses of disbelievers with its seal. This means that those who believe in Allah's message will be rewarded while those who do not believe in Allah's message will be punished. This hadith teaches us to always stay true to our faith in Allah so we can receive His blessings here on earth as well as in Heaven after death.
