حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ , عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ , عَنْ عُرْوَةَ , عَنْ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ , عَنْ حَبِيبَةَ , عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ , عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ , أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : اسْتَيْقَظَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ وَهُوَ مُحْمَرٌّ وَجْهُهُ , وَهُوَ يَقُولُ :" لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ , وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَبِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ , فُتِحَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ رَدْمِ يَأْجُوجَ , وَمَأْجُوجَ " وَعَقَدَ بِيَدَيْهِ عَشَرَةً , قَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , أَنَهْلِكُ وَفِينَا الصَّالِحُونَ , قَالَ : " إِذَا كَثُرَ الْخَبَثُ " .
´It was narrated that Zainab bint Jahsh said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) woke up red in the face and said: ‘La ilaha illallah, woe to the Arabs from an evil that has drawn nigh. Today a hole has been opened in the barrier of Gog and Magog.’ And he gestured to indicate the size of the hole.” Zainab said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Will we be destroyed when there are righteous people among us?’ He said: ‘If sin and evil deeds increase.’”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
(1)
Yajuj and Majuj are a corrupting people, for the protection from whom Dhu al-Qarnayn (alayhis salam) constructed a great wall. This is mentioned in Surah al-Kahf, verses (93–99) .
(2)
When that wall collapses, these people will attack other nations and commit plunder. This will be a very great tribulation.
(3)
When righteous people become few and the dishonest and immoral people increase, then Allah’s punishment descends in various forms, such as: earthquakes, floods, storms, and wars, etc.
(4)
To avoid this situation, enjoining good (amr bil-ma‘ruf) and forbidding evil (nahi ‘an al-munkar) is very necessary.
(5)
The indication of “ten” is made by placing the tip of the thumb on the tip of the index finger. The meaning was that the circle formed by placing the thumb on this finger—such a hole has appeared in the wall of Alexander (Sadd-i-Sikandari).
(6)
Once a hole appears, then the danger is that this hole will become larger, and eventually that wall will break, and Yajuj and Majuj will be set free in the world to commit killing and destruction.
