Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us; Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us; al-‘Awwam ibn Hawshab narrated to us; Jabalat ibn Suhaym narrated to me, from Mu’thir ibn ‘Afazah, from ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud, who said: On the night the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was taken on the Night Journey, he met Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, and they discussed the Hour. They began with Abraham and asked him about it, but he had no knowledge of it. Then they asked Moses, but he had no knowledge of it. The discussion was then referred to Jesus son of Mary, who said: “I have been entrusted with knowledge of what precedes its onset; as for its onset itself, none knows it but Allah.” He mentioned the emergence of the Dajjal and said: “I will descend and kill him. Then the people will return to their lands, where Gog and Magog will confront them, surging down from every elevation. They will pass no water without drinking it, and nothing without corrupting it. The people will cry out to Allah, and I will call upon Allah to destroy them. The earth will become foul from their stench. They will cry out to Allah again, and I will call upon Allah, then He will send rain from the sky that will carry them and cast them into the sea. Then the mountains will be pulverized and the earth spread out like a hide. I have been told that when this happens, the Hour will come upon the people like a pregnant woman whose family does not know when labor will suddenly overtake her.” Al-‘Awwam said: “Confirmation of this is found in the Book of Allah Most High: ‘Until Gog and Magog are released, and they surge down from every elevation.’”
