Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir — Hadith 2276

«إن يأجوج ومأجوج ليحفرون السد كل يوم حتى إذا كادوا يرون شعاع الشمس قال الذي عليهم: ارجعوا فستحفرونه غدا فيعيده الله أشد ما كان حتى إذا بلغت مدتهم وأراد الله أن يبعثهم على الناس حضروا حتى إذا كادوا يرون شعاع الشمس قال الذي عليهم: ارجعوا فستحفرونه غدا إن شاء الله واستثنوا فيعودون إليه وهو كهيئته حين تركوه فيحفرونه ويخرجون على الناس فينشفون الماء ويتحصن الناس منهم في حصونهم فيرمون سهامهم إلى السماء فترجع وعليها كهيئة الدم الذي اجفظ فيقولون: قهرنا أهل الأرض وعلونا أهل السماء! فيبعث الله عليهم نغفا في أقفائهم فيقتلهم بها والذي نفسي بيده إن دواب الأرض لتسمن وتشكر شكرا من لحومهم ودمائهم»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Indeed, Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog) dig through the barrier every day, until, when they are about to see the rays of the sun, the one in charge of them says: 'Go back; we will dig it tomorrow.' Then Allah Almighty restores it (the barrier) stronger than it was before. Until, when their term is complete and Allah wills to send them against the people, they will come to dig, until, when they are about to see the rays of the sun, the one in charge of them will say: 'Go back; we will dig it tomorrow, in sha' Allah (if Allah wills).' (This time) they will make the exception (by saying 'in sha' Allah'). So they will return and find the barrier in the same state in which they left it. Then they will dig through it and come out upon the people. They will drink up all the water, and the people will shut themselves up in their fortresses to protect themselves from them. Then they (Ya'juj and Ma'juj) will shoot their arrows towards the sky, and the arrows will come back stained with blood. They will say: 'We have overpowered the people of the earth and prevailed over the people of the heavens!' Then Allah Almighty will send upon their necks a kind of worm by which they will all die. By the One in whose hand is my soul! Indeed, the animals of the earth will become fat and fully satisfied from eating their flesh and drinking their blood."
