Sahih al-Bukhari 3346
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَتْهُ عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةِ جَحْشٍ ـ رضى الله عنهن أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَزِعًا يَقُولُ " لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَبِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ فُتِحَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ رَدْمِ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ ". وَحَلَّقَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ الإِبْهَامِ وَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا. قَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ ابْنَةُ جَحْشٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَهْلِكُ وَفِينَا الصَّالِحُونَ قَالَ " نَعَمْ، إِذَا كَثُرَ الْخُبْثُ ".
Yahya ibn Bukayr narrated to us: al-Layth narrated to us, from ʿUqayl, from Ibn Shihab, from ʿUrwa ibn al-Zubayr, that Zaynab daughter of Abu Salama related to him, from Umm Habiba daughter of Abu Sufyan, from Zaynab daughter of Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with them), that the Prophet ﷺ came to her in alarm, saying: ‘There is no god but Allah. Woe to the Arabs from an evil that has drawn near! Today an opening this size has been made in the barrier of Gog and Magog.’ He made a circle with his thumb and the finger next to it. Zaynab daughter of Jahsh asked, ‘Messenger of Allah, will we be destroyed while there are righteous people among us?’ He replied: ‘Yes, when wickedness becomes widespread.’
Translation notes
Rendered كثُر الخبث as wickedness becoming widespread, without narrowing it to a particular type of person.
