رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا 3346. Narrated Zainab bint Jahsh that the Prophet ﷺ once came to her in a state of fear and said, "Lā ilāha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh) Woe unto the Arabs from a danger that has come near. An opening has been made in the wall of Ya'jūj and Ma'jūj (Gog and Magog) like this," making a circle with his thumb and index finger. Zainab bint Jahsh said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Shall we be destroyed even though there are pious persons among us?" He said, "Yes, when the 'Al-Khabath' (evil persons) will increase."

Arabic text

3346 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَتْهُ عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُنَّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَزِعًا يَقُولُ: «لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَبِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ، فُتِحَ اليَوْمَ مِنْ رَدْمِ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ» وَحَلَّقَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ الإِبْهَامِ وَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا، قَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ: أَنَهْلِكُ وَفِينَا الصَّالِحُونَ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ إِذَا كَثُرَ الخَبَثُ»
