حدثنا يحيى بن سعيد، حدثني سليمان بن عيسى، قال: «بلغني أن» عيسى ابن مريم، عليه السلام إذا قتل الدجال، ونزل ببيت المقدس، ظهر يأجوج ومأجوج وهم أربعة وعشرون أمة، يأجوج ومأجوج، ويناجيج والجج، والغسلائيون، والسبتيون، والفزانيون، والقوطنيون، وهوالذي يلتحف أذنه ويفترش الأخرى، والزطيون، والكنعانيون، والدفرائيون، والخاخوئين، والأنطاريون، والمغاشئون، ورءوس الكلاب، فجميعهم أربعة وعشرون أمة، لا يمرون بحي ولا ميت إلا أكلوه، ولا ماء إلا شربوه، ويشرب أولهم ماء بحيرة الطبرية، ويمر آخرهم فلا يجدون ماء، حتى يجتمعوا ببطن أريحاء، فإذا سمع عيسى فزع إلى الصخرة ومن معه من المؤمنين، فيقوم عليهم خطيبا، فيحمد الله، ويثني عليه، ويقول: اللهم انصر القليل في طاعتك، على الكثير في معصيتك، هل من منتدب؟ فينتدب رجل من جرهم، ورجل من غسان، حتى ينزلا أسفل العقبة، فينزل الغساني، فيقول له الجرهمي: لست هناك "

I have heard that when Jesus, the son of Mary, (peace be upon him) kills the Dajjal and descends on the Holy House, Gog and Magog will appear, and they are twenty-four nations: Gog and Magog, Najij and Juj, the Ghaslaites, the Sabbatians, the Phazanites, the Gothians, and the Zatites, the Canaanites, the Defra’ites, the Khakhoites, and the Antarians. And the cheating ones, and the heads of the dogs, all of them are twenty-four nations. They do not pass by a living or a dead person without eating it, or water without drinking it. The first of them drinks the water of Lake Tiberias, and the last of them passes by and does not find water, until they meet in the heart of Jericho. When Jesus heard, he panicked to the rock and those with him from among the believers, and he stood up and preached to them, thanking Allah and praising him, and saying: O Allah, grant victory to the few in their obedience to You, over the many in their disobedience to You. Is there anyone who Seconded? Then a man from Jarhum and a man from Ghassan would come down to the bottom of Al-Aqaba, and Al-Ghassani would come down, and Al-Jarhami would say to him: You are not there.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1639 in Kitab al-Fitan (Nu'aym ibn Hammad).

[Scholarly Verification Notice]: Recorded in Nu'aym ibn Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan (d. 228 AH). Hadith scholars classify this historical compilation as ungraded and weak overall; its isolated reports are not accepted as established doctrine unless corroborated by standard Sahih works.

[Core Subject]: The Dajjal (al-Masih al-Dajjal, the false messiah) is a single man who will appear near the end and claim to be God. Every prophet warned his people about him, and the Prophet ﷺ called his trial the greatest from the creation of Adam until the Hour.

[Described Characteristics]: He is a young man, stocky, with thick curly hair, blind in his right eye, which looks like a floating grape. Between his eyes is written ka-fa-ra (kafir), which every believer can read, literate or not. He brings what looks like paradise and hell, but his paradise is fire and his fire is cool water. He orders the sky to rain and it rains. He stays forty days: one like a year, one like a month, one like a week, the rest like ordinary days. He cannot enter Makkah or Madinah.

[Timeline & Context]: In the narrated order he is the first of the great signs. He comes after the great battle with the Romans and the conquest of Constantinople, and Isa (AS) kills him at the gate of Lud.

[Prophetic Practice]: Memorise the first ten verses of Surah al-Kahf, read al-Kahf on Fridays, and in every prayer before the salam ask Allah's refuge from the trial of the Dajjal. Whoever hears of him should keep away from him.

[Core Subject]: Isa (Jesus, AS), son of Maryam, was not killed or crucified; Allah raised him up. Near the end of time he descends again, kills the Dajjal, and rules by the law of Muhammad ﷺ as a just ruler.

[Described Characteristics]: He descends at the white minaret east of Damascus, wearing two saffron-dyed garments, his hands on the wings of two angels. When he lowers his head, drops fall like pearls. He finds the Dajjal at the gate of Lud and kills him. He breaks the cross, kills the pig, abolishes the jizyah, and wealth becomes so plentiful no one accepts it. He lives on earth for a time, marries, then dies and the Muslims pray over him.

[Timeline & Context]: He descends during the Dajjal's forty days, just as the Muslims are getting ready for prayer, and Ya'juj and Ma'juj come out in his time.

[Prophetic Practice]: The Prophet ﷺ said: whoever of you meets him, convey my salam to him.

[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.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Baitul Maqdis (Jerusalem).
