Musnad Abu Ya'la al-Mawsili 42:171
From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA)
من مسند أبي سعيد الخدري
Hadith 42:171
'Uqbah narrated to us, Yunus narrated to us, Muhammad bin Ishaq narrated to us, from 'Asim bin 'Umar bin Qatadah, from Mahmud bin Labid, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Yajuj and Majuj (Gog and Magog) will emerge, and they will emerge as Allah said: 'From every elevation they will descend' (Al-Anbiya: 96). They will overwhelm the earth, and the Muslims will retreat from them until the remainder of the Muslims are in their cities and their fortresses, and they will gather their livestock to them. Indeed, the first of them will pass by a river and drink it until they leave nothing in it. Then the last of them will pass in their tracks and one of them will say: 'There was water here once.' Then they will appear over the earth, and one of them will say: 'These are the people of the earth; we have finished them off. Let us fight the people of the heaven.' One of them will shake his spear and throw it toward the heaven, and it will return stained with blood. They will say: 'We have killed the people of the heaven.' While they are like that, Allah will send upon them creatures like the larvae of locusts, which will seize them by their necks, and they will die like the death of locusts, piling upon one another. The Muslims will wake up and not hear a sound from them. They will say: 'Who will buy his soul [risk his life] to see what they have done?' A man among them will say—having prepared himself for the fact that they might kill him—and he will find them dead. He will call out to them: 'Rejoice, for Allah has destroyed your enemy!' Then the people will emerge and release their livestock, and they will have no pasture other than their [the invaders'] flesh, and they will grow fat from it as well as they ever grew from any vegetation they had ever encountered."
حدثنا عقبة حدثنا يونس حدثنا محمد بن إسحاق عن عاصم بن عمر بن قتادة عن محمود بن لبيد عن أبي سعيد الخدري أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال * يخرج يأجوج ومأجوج فيخرج كما قال الله من كل حدب ينسلون الأنبياء قال فيغمرون الأرض فينحاز عنهم المسلمون حتى تصير بقية المسلمين في مدائنهم وحصونهم ويضمون إليهم مواشيهم حتى إن أولهم ليمرون بالنهر فيشربونه حتى ما يذرون فيه شيئا فيمر أخيرهم على إثرهم فيقول قائلهم لقد كان ها هنا ماء مرة ثم يظهرون على الأرض ويقول قائلهم هؤلاء أهل الأرض قد فرغنا منهم ننازل أهل السماء حتى إن أحدهم ليهز حربته ثم يقذف بها إلى السماء فترجع متخضبة بالدماء فيقولون قد قتلنا أهل السماء فبينما هم كذلك إذ بعث إليهم دوابا كنغف الجراد فيأخذ بأعناقهم فيموتون موت الجراد يركب بعضهم بعضا فيصبح المسلمون ولا يسمعون لهم حسا فيقولون من يشتري نفسه ينظر ما فعلوا فيقول رجل منهم وقد وطن نفسه على أنهم يقتلونه فيجدهم موتى فيناديهم ألا فأبشروا فقد أهلك الله عدوكم فيخرج الناس ويخلون سبيل مواشيهم فما يكون لها رعي إلا لحومهم فتشكر عنها كأحسن ما شكرت عن نبات أصابته قط
