حدثنا يعقوب، حدثنا أبي، عن صالح يعني ابن كيسان، قال ابن شهاب، حدثني عروة بن الزبير، أن زينب بنت أبي سلمة، أخبرت عن أم حبيبة بنت أبي سفيان، عن زينب بنت جحش، قالت إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم دخل عليها فزعا يقول: " لا إله إلا الله ويل للعرب من شر قد اقترب فتح اليوم من ردم يأجوج ومأجوج مثل هذا " قال وحلق بأصبعيه الإبهام والتي تليها قالت زينب بنت جحش فقلت يا رسول الله: أنهلك وفينا الصالحون؟ قال: " نعم إذا كثر الخبث "

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #27414 in Musnad Ahmad.

[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.
