The Emergence of the Beast

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) took Abdullah bin Buraidah to a desert near Makkah and told him that the Beast will emerge from that spot.

'Abdullah bin Buraidah narrated that his father said: "The Messenger of Allah took me to a place in the desert, near Makkah, where there was arid land surrounded by sand. The Messenger of Allah said: 'The Beast will emerge from this spot – span by a span. (i.e, the size of that spot).’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو زُنَيْجٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تُمَيْلَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ ذَهَبَ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ بِالْبَادِيَةِ قَرِيبٍ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَإِذَا أَرْضٌ يَابِسَةٌ حَوْلَهَا رَمْلٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ تَخْرُجُ الدَّابَّةُ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَإِذَا فِتْرٌ فِي شِبْرٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ فَحَجَجْتُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِسِنِينَ فَأَرَانَا عَصًا لَهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِعَصَاىَ هَذِهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا
