4080. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Gog and Magog
people dig every day until, when they can almost see the rays of the sun, the one in charge of them says: "Go back and we will dig it tomorrow." Then Allāh puts it back, stronger than it was before. (This will continue) until, when their time has come, and Allāh wants to send them against the people, they will dig until they can almost see the rays of the sun, then the one who is in charge of them will say: "Go back, and we will dig it tomorrow if Allāh wills." So they will say: "If Allāh wills." Then they will come back to it and it will be as they left it. So they will dig and will come out to the people, and they will drink all the water. The people will fortify themselves against them in their fortresses. They will shoot their arrows towards the sky and they will come back with blood on them, and they will say: "We have defeated the people of earth and dominated the people of heaven." Then Allāh will send a worm in the napes of their necks and kill them thereby." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, the beasts of the earth will grow fat on their flesh." (Sahih)

Commentary
a. Digging here means that they will try to make a hole in the wall but Allāh will not allow them to be successful in their efforts so, the wall once again
becomes thick as it was.
b. Means are in the Hands of Allāh, without His will, success cannot be obtained, even when all the possible efforts are spent. So, a believer should have firm trust in Allāh.
c. The Name of Allāh has so much blessings, that even non-believers (Gog and Magog people) mention Allāh's Name, the wall will not turn back as it was, and they will become successful in their purpose.
