Jami at-Tirmidhi 3153 (Book 47, Hadith 205) #28802
The Barrier of Protection from Ya'juj & Ma'juj

SUMMARY: This hadith talks about the barrier that Allah has created to protect people from Ya'juj and Ma'juj, two groups of people who are arrogant and cruel. Allah will eventually send Naghaf upon them, which will attach to their necks and destroy them.

Narrated Abu Rafi': a Hadith of Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet ﷺ, regarding the 'barrier (18:93)'. "They excavated each day, until when they are just about to penetrate it, their leader says: 'Go back so that you can penetrate it tomorrow!'" He said: "But Allah makes it return just as it was, until their appointed time, when Allah ordains to send them upon the people, and their leader says: 'Go back so you can penetrate it tomorrow, if Allah wills'. So he makes this exception". He said: "So they return, and find it just as it was when they left it. Then they penetrate it, and they (Ya'juj & Ma'juj) are released upon the people drinking up the water, and the people flee from them. They shoot their arrows into the heavens so they returned dyed with blood, and they say - crudely and arrogantly - 'We vanquished those in the earth, let us dominate the inhabitants of the heavens'. Then Allah sends Naghaf upon them, attaching to the nape of their necks, destroying them". He said: "By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad! The beasts of the earth will become very fat and bloated with milk from their flesh".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَغَيْرُ، وَاحِدٍ، - الْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ بَشَّارٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي السَّدِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَحْفِرُونَهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ حَتَّى إِذَا كَادُوا يَخْرِقُونَهُ قَالَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِمُ ارْجِعُوا فَسَتَخْرِقُونَهُ غَدًا فَيُعِيدُهُ اللَّهُ كَأَمْثَلِ مَا كَانَ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ مُدَّتَهُمْ وَأَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَبْعَثَهُمْ عَلَى النَّاسِ قَالَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِمُ ارْجِعُوا فَسَتَخْرِقُونَهُ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَاسْتَثْنَى ‏.‏ قَالَ فَيَرْجِعُونَ فَيَجِدُونَهُ كَهَيْئَتِهِ حِينَ تَرَكُوهُ فَيَخْرِقُونَهُ فَيَخْرُجُونَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَيَسْتَقُونَ الْمِيَاهَ وَيَفِرُّ النَّاسُ مِنْهُمْ فَيَرْمُونَ بِسِهَامِهِمْ فِي السَّمَاءِ فَتَرْجِعُ مُخَضَّبَةً بِالدِّمَاءِ فَيَقُولُونَ قَهَرْنَا مَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَعَلَوْنَا مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ قَسْوَةً وَعُلُوًّا ‏.‏ فَيَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَغَفًا فِي أَقْفَائِهِمْ فَيَهْلِكُونَ قَالَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ دَوَابَّ الأَرْضِ تَسْمَنُ وَتَبْطَرُ وَتَشْكَرُ شَكْرًا مِنْ لُحُومِهِمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِثْلَ هَذَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about a barrier that Allah has created to protect people from two groups of people called Yajuj and Majuj. These two groups are known for their arrogance and cruelty. Every day they try to penetrate the wall but Allah makes it return just as it was until their appointed time when they will be released upon the people. When this happens, the inhabitants of earth flee in fear as these two groups shoot arrows into the heavens which return dyed with blood. They then arrogantly proclaim that they have conquered those on earth so let them dominate those in heaven too. But then Allah sends Naghaf upon them which attaches itself to their necks destroying them completely. It is said that even animals on earth become fat due to all the flesh left behind by these two groups after being destroyed by Naghaf sent by Allah Himself!

This hadith teaches us an important lesson; no matter how powerful or arrogant we may think we are, ultimately it is only God who can decide our fate! We should always remember this fact and stay humble before Him at all times!
