2187. Zainab bint Jahsh said: "One day, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ awoke from sleep with a flushed red face, and said: 'Lā Ilāha illallāh. He repeated it thrice. 'Woe to the Arabs from the evil drawn near. Today a gap has been made in the wall of Ya'jūj and Ma'jūj like this.' And he formed ten (with his fingers)." Zainab said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Shall we be destroyed while there are righteous among us?' He said: 'Yes, when the evil abounds.'" (Sahih)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih. Sufyān has done well with this Hadīth. [Al-Humaidī, 'Alī bin Al-Madinī, and more than one of the Huffāz reported it similarly from Sufyān bin 'Uyainah.] Al-Humaidī said: "From Sufyān bin 'Uyainah: 'I remembered that in this chain from Az-Zuhri there were four women: Zainab bint Abī Salamah, from Ḥabībah – and they are step-daughters of the Prophet ﷺ – from Umm Ḥabībah, from Zainab bint Jahsh – two (of the) wives of the Prophet ﷺ.'" Ma'mar reported [and others] reported this Hadīth from Az-Zuhri, but they did not mention: "From Ḥabībah" in it. [Some of the companions of Ibn 'Uyainah reported this Hadīth from Ibn 'Uyainah but they did not mention: "From Umm Ḥabībah" in it].
