The Coming of Evil and Righteousness

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) warning of an evil that will come and how it will affect the Arabs. He also explains that even when wickedness prevails, there will still be righteous people among us.

Zainab (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet came to visit me one day frightened and he said: "La ilaha illallah (There is no true God but Allah). Woe to the Arabs because of an evil which has drawn near! Today an opening of this size has been made in the barrier restraining Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog people)". And he made a circle with his thumb and index finger. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Shall we perish while still there will be righteous people among us?'' He replied, "Yes, when wickedness prevails". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
