The Beast of the Earthدابة الأرض
A creature Allah will bring out of the earth near the end, speaking to people that they did not believe.
When the word comes due against people, Allah will bring out for them a creature from the earth that speaks to them, because people were not certain of Allah's signs. The Prophet ﷺ listed it among the ten major signs before the Hour, with the sun rising from the west.
