Review and critique of the Sunni traditions on Dabbah tol arz (Earth Saviour)

Message:
Abstract:
The Sunni Hadith sources narrate the nature and characteristics of the Dabbah tol arz following the verse to the effect that narrates "and when the time to torment (the wrongdoers) comes, on the verge of resurrection, a creature from the earth will be brought out who speaks with them "(Surah Naml: 82). This notion is reflected in the interpretation and narrative texts, although there is a tremendous difference between Sunnis and Shiites in (interpretation of) this field.Many traditions in the Sunni hadith sources talk about the place and time of departure Dabbah, its features, Dabbah period, and the traditions that are matching Dabbah with Imam Ali. The adherents have denied the link and called the proponents liars. Instead, they consider this as a severe conflict where few places (Yemen, Mosque, create, etc.) and different times (morning, evening, after the sun rises from the west, etc.) as the features for the rise of Dabbah, or some traditions claim Dabbah is an extraordinary animal. So it necessary to review and validate such contradictory claims found predominantly in Sunni hadith sources. By examining the evidence, content, documents, and news analysis in the Sunni hadith sources, it is found that there is no true narrative about it and the existing narratives suffer from lack of evidence and only one narrative can be true. Also, given that most of the narrators of these hadith are the figures that are either the authors or they are affected by Israelites, it is likely that the traditions of Israelites have entered the Sunni hadith sources. According to the text of the single reliable hadith found and some other evidence that can be extracted form he narratives, it is likely Dabbah is the Imam of the Time, Mahdi.
