“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took me to a place in the desert, near Makkah, where there was arid land surrounded by sand. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘The Beast will emerge from this spot – span by a span. (i.e, the size of that spot).’”  

ابن ماجة:٤٠٦٧حَدَّثَنَا 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 ﷺ إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ بِالْبَادِيَةِ قَرِيبٍ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَإِذَا أَرْضٌ يَابِسَةٌ حَوْلَهَا رَمْلٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ 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
