[8] The end of Yajouj and Majouj: وَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ‏: يُفْتَحُ سَدُّ يَأْجُوجَ‏ وَ مَأْجُوجَ‏ فَيَخْرُجُونَ عَلَى النَّاسِ، كَمَا قَالَ تَعَالَى: وَ هُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَنْسِلُونَ‏ فَيَغْشَوْنَ الْأَرْضَ كُلَّهَا وَ يَجْتَازُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ إِلَى حُصُونِهِمْ وَ يَضُمُّونَ إِلَيْهِمْ مَوَاشِيَهُمْ And from Abu Saeed Al-Khudry who said, ‘I heard Rasool-Allah -saww saying: ‘The barrier of Yajouj and Majouj will be opened so they will emerge upon the people just as Allah -azwj the Exalted Said: and they would be descending from every elevation [21:96] , so they will be overwhelming the earth, all of it and the Muslims will retreat to their fortresses taking their livestock with them.

فَيَشْرَبُونَ مِيَاهَ الْأَرْضِ، فَيَمُرُّ أَوَائِلُهُمْ بِالنَّهْرِ فَيَشْرَبُونَ مَا فِيهِ وَ يَتْرُكُونَهُ فَيَمُرُّ بِهِ مَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ وَ يَقُولُونَ: لَقَدْ كَانَ هُنَا مَرَّةً مَاءٌ They will be drinking water of the earth. Their first ones would pass by the river and drink whatever is in it, and leaving it (empty).

The ones after them will pass by and say, ‘There used to be water here once!’ وَ لَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ فِي حِصْنٍ أَوْ جَبَلٍ شَامِخٍ، فَيَقُولُ قَائِلُهُمْ: لَقَدْ فَرَغْنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَ قَدْ بَقِيَ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ And there will not remain anyone from the people except the ones who were in a fortress or a lofty mountain.

Their speaker will say, ‘We are free from people of the earth and there still remain the ones in the sky!’ ثُمَّ يَهُزُّ أَحَدُهُمْ حَرْبَتَهُ فَيَرْمِي بِهَا نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ فَتَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ مَخْضُوبَةً بِدَمٍ، فَيَقُولُونَ: قَدْ قَتَلْنَا أَهْلَ السَّمَاءِ Then one of them will shake his spear and throw it towards the sky, and it would return to them stained with blood.

They will say, ‘We have killed people of the sky!’ فَبَيْنَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ سَلَّطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ دُوداً مِثْلَ النَّغَفِ، فَيَدْخُلُ فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَ يَنْقُبُ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ فَيُصْبِحُونَ مَوْتَى لَا يُسْمَعُ لَهُمْ حِسٌّ وَ لَا حَرَكَةٌ While they will be like that when Allah -azwj will Cause insects like the gnats to prevail upon them. They will enter into their ears and pierce their necks. They will (eventually) die. Neither a hiss will be heard for them nor any movement (detected)’.
