dābbat[for A. دابة , orig. a fem. part. n. fr. د بّ 'to creep, to walk,'], s.f. A reptile; a beast:—dābbatu`l-arẓ, 'The Beast of the Earth'; an appellation of one of the signs of the time of the resurrection; the second beast mentioned in the Revelations. . It is believed, by Mohammadans, that it will come forth from aṣ-ṣafa, a mountain at Mecca, with the rod of Moses and the seal of Solomon; with the former it will strike the believer, and with the latter it will stamp the face of the unbeliever, impressing upon it 'This is an unbeliever').
Origin: Persian
