حدثنا محمد بن بشر، حدثنا محمد يعني ابن عمرو ، عن ابن حرملة، عن خالته قالت: خطب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو عاصب إصبعه من لدغة عقرب فقال: " إنكم تقولون لا عدو وإنكم لا تزالون تقاتلون عدوا حتى يأتي يأجوج ومأجوج عراض الوجوه، صغار العيون، صهب الشعاف من كل حدب ينسلون كأن وجوههم المجان المطرقة " . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #22331 in Musnad Ahmad.

[Core Subject]: The Prophet ﷺ foretold that the Muslims would fight a people with small eyes, red faces, flat noses and faces like hammered shields, who wear shoes of hair.

[Described Characteristics]: The narrations in Bukhari and Muslim give only this description and say the fighting is among the signs before the Hour.

[Timeline & Context]: Scholars place it among the events foretold for the early centuries.

[Prophetic Practice]: Baghdad fell after years of internal division. Unity is a protection.

[Core Subject]: Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog) are two huge peoples, descendants of Adam, held back behind a barrier of iron and copper that Dhul-Qarnayn built. Near the end the barrier gives way and they pour out across the earth.

[Described Characteristics]: They come down from every height. Their first ranks drink Lake Tiberias dry, and the last say 'there was water here once'. No one can fight them, so Allah tells Isa (AS) to take the believers up Mount Tur. Isa and his companions pray, Allah sends worms into their necks, and they all die in one night. Birds carry the bodies away and a rain washes the earth clean.

[Timeline & Context]: They come out after the Dajjal is killed, in the time of Isa (AS). It is one of the ten great signs.

[Prophetic Practice]: When Zaynab asked, 'Will we be destroyed while there are righteous among us?', he said, 'Yes, if filth increases.' Guarding against open evil is our part.
