3187. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "A beast will emerge from the earth. With it shall be the ring of Sulaimān and the staff of Mūsā. It will brighten the face of the believer, and stamp the nose of the disbeliever with the ring, such that when the people gather to eat, it will be said to this one: 'O believer!' and to that one: 'O disbeliever!'" (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan [Gharīb]. This Hadīth, about the beast of the earth, has been reported through other routes from Abū Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ. There are narrations about this from Abū Umāmah and Ḥudhaifah bin Usaid.

Commentary
When a beast from the earth will appear prior to the Day of Judgement, it will draw a clear line of distinction among the people. The faces of the believers will gleam and the noses of the disbelievers will be stamped with a seal; this is how they will recognise each other and they will call each other accordingly.
