مِنْ مُسْنَدِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ
From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1144 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Gog and Magog
حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « يَخْرُجُ يَأْجُوجُ وَمَأْجُوجُ ، فَيَخْرُجُ كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ » : مِنْ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَنْسِلُونَ قَالَ : فَيَغْمُرُونَ الْأَرْضَ ، فَيَنْحَازُ عَنْهُمُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ حَتَّى تَصِيرَ بَقِيَّةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي مَدَائِنِهِمْ وَحُصُونِهِمْ ، وَيَضُمُّونَ إِلَيْهِمْ مَوَاشِيَهُمْ ، حَتَّى إِنَّ أَوَّلَهُمْ لَيَمُرُّونَ بِالنَّهَرِ فَيَشْرَبُونَهُ حَتَّى مَا يَذَرُونَ فِيهِ شَيْئًا ، فَيَمُرُّ أَخِيرُهُمْ عَلَى إِثْرِهِمْ ، فَيَقُولُ قَائِلُهُمْ : لَقَدْ كَانَ هَاهُنَا مَاءٌ مَرَّةً ، ثُمَّ يَظْهَرُونَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ ، وَيَقُولُ قَائِلُهُمْ : هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ الْأَرْضِ قَدْ فَرَغْنَا مِنْهُمْ ، نُنَازِلُ أَهْلَ السَّمَاءِ ، حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ لَيَهُزُّ حَرْبَتَهُ ثُمَّ يَقْذِفُ بِهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ، فَتَرْجِعُ مُتَخَضِّبَةً بِالدِّمَاءِ . فَيَقُولُونَ : قَدْ قَتَلْنَا أَهْلَ السَّمَاءِ . فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ دَوَابًّا كَنَغَفِ الْجَرَادِ ، فَيَأْخُذُ بِأَعْنَاقِهِمْ فَيَمُوتُونَ مَوْتَ الْجَرَادِ يَرْكَبُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا ، فَيُصْبِحُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَلَا يَسْمَعُونَ لَهُمْ حِسًّا ، فَيَقُولُونَ : مَنْ يَشْتَرِي نَفْسَهُ يَنْظُرُ مَا فَعَلُوا ؟ فَيَقُولُ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ ، وَقَدْ وَطَّنَ نَفْسَهُ عَلَى أَنَّهُمْ يَقْتُلُونَهُ ، فَيَجِدُهُمْ مَوْتَى ، فَيُنَادِيهِمْ : أَلَا فَأَبْشِرُوا فَقَدْ أَهْلَكَ اللهُ عَدُوَّكُمْ ، فَيَخْرُجُ النَّاسُ وَيُخَلُّونَ سَبِيلَ مَوَاشِيهِمْ ، فَمَا يَكُونُ لَهَا رَعْيٌ إِلَّا لُحُومَهُمْ ، فَتَشْكَرُ عَنْهَا كَأَحْسَنِ مَا شَكِرَتْ عَنْ نَبَاتٍ أَصَابَتْهُ قَطُّ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Gog and Magog will come out, and they will come out (rapidly) exactly as Allah, the Glorified and Exalted, has said: 'They will descend swiftly from every elevation'." He (peace and blessings be upon him) further said: "Then they will cover the whole earth, and the Muslims, out of fear of them, will withdraw and take refuge in their cities and fortresses, keeping their livestock safe with them as well. When the first wave of Gog and Magog passes by a river, they will drink it dry until nothing remains in it. Then, when the last of their group passes by there, one of them will say (on seeing the dry ground): There used to be water here once. Then they will gain complete dominance over the earth, and one of them will say: These were the people of the earth, and we have finished with them; now we will fight the people of the heaven. Then one of them will brandish his spear and throw it towards the heaven, and it will come back smeared with blood, at which they will say (as a trial): We have killed the people of the heaven too. While they are in this state, Allah Almighty will send upon them creatures (a pestilence) like the worms in the noses of locusts, which will seize them by their necks, and they will die like locusts, piled one on top of another. When morning comes, the Muslims will hear no sound from them, and they will say: Who will sell his life (that is, put his life at stake) and go and see what they have done? So a man from among them will go out, convinced that he will be sacrificing his life, but he will find them dead, and he will call out: O people! Rejoice, for Allah Almighty has destroyed your enemy. Then the people will come out and set their livestock free, but there will be nothing for them to graze on except their flesh, and they (the livestock) will eat it and grow so fat and plump as they had never grown fat even from grazing on the best vegetation."
