Kitab al-Fitan of Nu'aym ibn Hammad: ungraded, and weak overall. Never established on its own.

Traced to Ka'b al-Ahbar (automatic guess): a report of earlier scriptures, not a hadith of the Prophet ﷺ.

حدثنا بقية بن الوليد، وأبو المغيرة، عن أبي بكر بن أبي مريم، عن أبي الزاهرية، عن كعب، قال: «يمكث الناس بعد يأجوج ومأجوج في الرخاء والخصب والدعة عشر سنين، حتى أن الرجلين ليحملان الرمانة الواحدة، ويحملان بينهما العنقود الواحد من العنب، فيمكثون على ذلك عشر حجج، ثم يبعث الله تعالى ريحا طيبة فلا تدع مؤمنا إلا قبضت روحه، ثم يبقى الناس بعد ذلك يتهارجون كما تهارج الحمير في المروج، فيأتيهم أمر الله والساعة وهم على ذلك»

After Gog and Magog, the people will remain in prosperity, fertility, and meekness for ten years, to the point that the two men will carry a single pomegranate, and between them will carry a single cluster of grapes, and they will remain in that for ten days. Then Allah Almighty will send a pleasant wind, which will not leave a believer without taking his soul. Then after that, the people will remain clowning around like donkeys clowning in the meadows, so the command of Allah and the Hour will come to them while they are in that state.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1661 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]: 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.
