Hadith 161

not remain any Momin except it would wipe him, nor will a hypocrite remain except he would brand him. It would emerge on the night of Friday and the people would be travelling to Mina. From Ibn Umar. And it is reported by Muhammad Bin Ka’ab Al QuRazi who said, ‘Ali-asws, may the Salawaat of the Beneficent be upon him-asws, was asked about the walker. He-asws said: ‘But, by Allah-azwj! There is not tail for it, and that there is a beard for it’. And in this is an indication to the it would be from the humans’. And it is reported from Ibn Abbas, ‘It is a walker from the animals of the earth. There is fluff for it and feathers and there are four legs for it’. And from Huzeyfa, from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘Walker of the earth, its length is sixty cubits. Neither will a seeker come across it nor would a fleer escape it. It will brand the Momineen between his eyes, so it would be written between his eyes, ‘Momin’, and it would brand the Kafir between his eyes, so it would be written between his eyes, ‘Kafir’, and with it would be the staff of Musa-as and ring of Suleyman-as. It would clear the face of the Momin with the staff and seal the nose of the Kafir with the seal until it would be said, ‘O Momin’, and ‘O Kafir’’. And it is reported from the Prophet-saww: ‘For the walker, there will happen to be three emergences from the times. It shall come out emerging in the outskirts of Al-Medina. Its mention would spread in the valleys and its mention will not enter the town, meaning Makkah. Then it would remain for a long time. Then it would come out with another emergence, nearby from Makkah. So, its mention would spread in the valleys and its mention would enter the town, meaning Makkah. Then one day the people will come to be in the Masjid of mighty sanctity to Allah-azwj and honour to Allah-azwj, meaning the Sacred Masjid. It would not scare them, and it would be in a corner of the Masjid, approaching and rambling what is between the black corner to the door of the clan of Makhzum on the right, outside in the middle of that. The people will stay away from it and a party would be affirmed to it. They would recognise, they will never frustrate Allah-azwj. It will emerge to them shaking its head from the soil. It will pass by them. It shall flash from their faces until they leave it as if it is a shining star. Then it will turn in the earth. Neither will a seeker come across it nor will a fleer escape it, to the extent that the man would stand and seek refuge from it with the Salat. It would come to him from behind him and say, ‘O so and so! Now you are praying Salat! ’
He would turn to it by his face, and it would brand him in his face. It will be in the vicinity of the people in their houses, and accompany them in the journeys, and participate the wealth. The Momin would be recognised from the Kafir. It would be said to the Momin, ‘O Momin’, and to the Kafir, ‘O Kafir’’. And it is reported from Wahab having said, ‘Its face is the face of a man, and rest of its physique is the body of the bird, and the like of that cannot be recognise except from Divine Prophecies’. And His-azwj Word: speak to them. [27: 82] – i. e. it would speak to them with what would worsen them, and it is, they would be coming to the Fire with a language they understand. And it is said it would narrate to them that this is a Momin and this is a Kafir. And it is said that it would say to them: Surely, the people would not have had certainty in Our Signs [27: 82], and it is apparent. And on the Day We will Gather batches from every community, from the ones who belied Our Signs, so they would be assembled in rows [27: 83], i. e. pushed away. And it is said, their first ones would be withheld to their last ones. And it can be evidenced with this Verse upon the correctness of the Raj’at. One from the Imamites who goes to that by saying the entry of the one in the talk obliges the differing. That evidence upon that the day indicated to, a people would be raised in it besides a people, and that isn’t a description of the Day of Qiyamah regarding which the Glorious Says: and We will Gather them, so We will not Leave anyone of them [18: 47]. And the
