Sahih Muslim: Book 54, Hadith 135

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Jabir with the same chain of transmitters but with this addition that Gog and Magog would walk until they would reach the mountain of al-Khamar and it is a mountain of Bait-ul-Maqdis and they would say: We have killed those who are upon the earth. Let us now kill those who are In the sky and they would throw their arrows towards the sky and the arrows would return to them besmeared with blood. And in the narration of Ibn Hujr (the words are):” I have sent such persons (Gog and Magog) that none would dare fight against them.

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ،
وَالْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ – قَالَ ابْنُ حُجْرٍ دَخَلَ حَدِيثُ أَحَدِهِمَا فِي حَدِيثِ الآخَرِ – عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ
بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ ‏.‏ نَحْوَ مَا ذَكَرْنَا وَزَادَ بَعْدَ قَوْلِهِ ‏”‏ لَقَدْ كَانَ بِهَذِهِ مَرَّةً مَاءٌ
ثُمَّ يَسِيرُونَ حَتَّى يَنْتَهُوا إِلَى جَبَلِ الْخَمَرِ وَهُوَ جَبَلُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَيَقُولُونَ لَقَدْ قَتَلْنَا مَنْ
فِي الأَرْضِ هَلُمَّ فَلْنَقْتُلْ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ ‏.‏ فَيَرْمُونَ بِنُشَّابِهِمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَيَرُدُّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ
نُشَّابَهُمْ مَخْضُوبَةً دَمًا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ حُجْرٍ ‏”‏ فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَنْزَلْتُ عِبَادًا لِي لاَ يَدَىْ لأَحَدٍ
بِقِتَالِهِمْ ‏”‏ ‏.‏
