3953. It was narrated that Zainab bint Jahsh said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ woke up red in the face and said: 'Lâ ilâha illallâh, woe to the Arabs from an evil that has drawn nigh. Today a hole has been opened in the barrier of Gog and Magog.' And he gestured to indicate the size of the hole." Zainab said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh! Will we be destroyed when there are righteous people among us?' He said: 'If sin and evil deeds increase.'" (Sahih)
3953 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ، ابْنَةِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ حَبِيبَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: اسْتَيْقَظَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ، وَهُوَ مُحْمَرٌّ وَجْهُهُ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَبِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ، فُتِحَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ رَدْمِ يَأْجُوجَ، وَمَأْجُوجَ» وَعَقَدَ بِيَدَيْهِ عَشَرَةً، قَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَهْلِكُ وَفِينَا الصَّالِحُونَ؟ قَالَ: «إِذَا كَثُرَ الْخَبَثُ»

Gog and Magog are great mischievous nations. Dhul-Qarnain built a huge and great wall to protect other people from their mischief, as mentioned in the Qur'ân: Surat Al-Kahf '8:93-99. When the wall is demolished, they will come out and attack other nations, and it will be a great trial. When good people decrease to a great extent, and bad and dishonest people prevail, then Allâh's punishment comes down in many forms, such as earthquakes, floods, storms, wars, etc. Once a hole occurs, it is feared that it will turn into a larger one, until the wall will collapse, and Gog and Magog will be free to spread mischief in this world, killing and plundering all people.
