7059. Narrated Zainab bint Jahsh رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ got up from his sleep with a flushed red face and said, "Lā ilāha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh). Woe to the Arabs, from the great evil that is nearly, approaching them. Today a gap has been made in the wall of Ya'jūj and Ma'jūj (Gog and Magog people) like this." (Sufyān illustrated this by forming the number 90 or 100 with his fingers.) It was asked, "Shall we be destroyed, though there are righteous people among us?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, if Al-Khabath(1) increased."

7059 - حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الزُّهْرِيَّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُنَّ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: اسْتَيْقَظَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ النَّوْمِ مُحْمَرًّا وَجْهُهُ يَقُولُ: «لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَبِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ، فُتِحَ اليَوْمَ مِنْ رَدْمِ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ» وَعَقَدَ سُفْيَانُ تِسْعِينَ أَوْ مِائَةً قِيلَ: أَنَهْلِكُ وَفِينَا الصَّالِحُونَ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ، إِذَا كَثُرَ الخَبَثُ»
