عن زينب بنت جحش رضي الله عنها أنَّ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم دخل عليها فَزِعًا، يقول: «لا إله إلا الله، وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَبِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قد اقْتَرَب، فُتِحَ اليوم من رَدْمِ يَأْجُوجَ ومَأجُوجَ مثل هذه»، وحلَّق بأُصبُعيه الإبهامِ والتي تَلِيها، فقلت: يا رسول الله، أنَهْلِكُ وفينا الصَّالِحُون؟ قال: «نعم، إِذَا كَثُرَ الخَبَثُ».
[صحيح] - [متفق عليه]

Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came to her in an alarmed state, saying: "There is no god but Allah. Woe to the Arabs from an impending evil. Today, an aperture has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog, like this," making a circle with his thumb and index fingers. So I said: "O Messenger of Allah, shall we perish while there are pious people among us?" He said: "Yes, when wickedness is rampant."
Sahih/Authentic. - [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Explanation

Mother of the believers Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came to her red-faced, saying: "There is no god but Allah", confirming the Oneness of Allah and soothing the hearts. Then he warned Arabs: "Woe to Arabs from an impending evil." He explained this evil to be a small aperture in the wall of Gog and Magog as large as the size of a circle made with the thumb and index fingers. Zaynab said: "O Messenger of Allah, shall we perish while there are pious people among us?" He said that the righteous will not perish; rather, they will be saved. However, when wickedness becomes widespread, the pious will perish. For if wicked deeds spread in a community of Muslims and they do not forbid them, they expose themselves to the danger of destruction.
