Ilitajwa hapo awali kwamba Dhul-Qarnain aliijenga kwa chuma na shaba, na akaiinua hadi kimo cha juu sana, sawa na milima mirefu sana.
It was mentioned earlier that Dhul-Qarnain has built it out of iron and copper and elevated it to a very high point that is equal to the very lofty mountains.
Hata hivyo, hakuna jengo duniani linalolingana nalo kwa utukufu au kwa manufaa kwa wanadamu. Imam Al-Bukhari alinukuu katika Sahih yake Hadithi isemayo: ((Mtu mmoja alimwambia Mtume ﷺ kwamba ameiona bwawa (la Yajuj na Majuj). Mtume ﷺ akauliza: (Uliliona vipi?) Yule mtu akasema: (Nililiona kama Al-Burd Al-Muhabbar (nguo zilizofumwa kwa michoro).) Mtume ﷺ akasema: (Umeliona kama hivyo.)) Katika tafsiri ya Qur'an ya Ibn Jarir, simulizi tofauti kidogo iliripotiwa na Qatadah aliyesema: ((Nilielezwa kwamba mtu mmoja alisema: (Ee Mjumbe wa Allah! Nimeiona bwawa la Yajuj na Majuj.) Mtume ﷺ akasema:
However, there is no on earth an equal building in terms of loftiness or benefiting to mankind. Imam Al-Bukhari transmitted in his Sahih the following Hadith saying: ((A man told the Prophet (Peace be upon him) that he had seen the dam (of Gog and Magog). The Prophet (Peace be upon him) asked: (How did you find it?' the man said: (I found it like Al-Burd Al-Muhabbar (stripped garments).' The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: (You have seen it like that. '" In Ibn Jarir's exegesis of the Qur'an, a slight different narration was reported by Qatadah who said: ('I was told that a man said: (0 Allah's Messenger! I have seen the dam of Gog and Magog. 'The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said:
(eleza kwa undani. Mtu huyo alisema: 'Ilionekana kama nguo zilizovuliwa, zenye mistari myekundu na myeusi.' Mtume ﷺ alisema: 'Umeiona.'") Ilitajwa kuwa Khalifa Al-Wathiq alituma wajumbe wenye ujumbe kwa wafalme mbalimbali ili wawaruhusu kusafiri kutoka nchi moja hadi nyingine mpaka wafike kwenye bwawa na kusimama juu ya uhalisia wake. Walipomrudia Khalifa, walimweleza wakisema kwamba lina mlango mkubwa wenye kufuli nyingi.
(describe it to me. The man said: 'It looked like stripped garments, with red and black stripes.' The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: 'You have seen it. '" It was mentioned that the Caliph, Al-Wathiq sent some messengers with messages to different kings to allow them travelling from one country to another till they reach the dam and stand on its reality. When they came back to the Caliph, they described it to him saying that it has a huge door with many locks.
Ni jengo refu sana na lenye kubana sana, na mabaki ya vifaa vyake vya ujenzi na zana zake yamehifadhiwa humo kwenye mnara. Pia bado kuna walinzi wanaolinda jengo hilo. Waliongeza kusema kwamba mahali lilipo ni upande wa kaskazini-mashariki wa dunia. Pia ilisemwa kwamba ardhi yao ni pana sana, na kwamba wanaishi kwa kilimo na uwindaji, na idadi yao haihesabiki.
It is a very high and tight building and that the remnants of its building materials and tools are kept there in a tower. Also, there are still guards keeping an eye on it. They added that its location is on the northern-east side of the earth. It was also said that their land is very spacious and that they live on farming and hunting and that their numbers are countless.
Tunawezaje kupatanisha Aya ya Qur'ani isemayo: {Basi (Yajuj na Majuj (Gogu na Magogu)) hawakuweza kuipanda wala kuitoboa}. (Al-Kahf, 97) na Hadith ya Mtume ﷺ iliyopokewa na Imam Al-Bukhari na Imam Muslim kwa mamlaka ya Mama wa Waumini, Zainab bint Jahsh (Allah amridhie), kwamba: Mtume ﷺ alimwendea akiwa katika hali ya hofu na akasema: ('Hakuna mungu wa haki isipokuwa Allah. Ole wao Waarabu kutokana na balaa lililokaribia. Shimo limefanywa katika ukuta wa Yajuj na Majuj kama hivi," akifanya duara kwa kidole gumba na kidole cha shahada. Zainab bint Jahsh akasema: ('Ee Mjumbe wa Allah! Je, tutaangamia ilhali kuna watu wema miongoni mwetu?" Akasema: "Naam, pale maovu yatakapoongezeka." Na katika riwaya nyingine: Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Allah amefanya shimo katika ukuta wa watu wa Yajuj na Majuj kama hivi, akafanya kwa mkono wake (kwa msaada wa vidole vyake)." (Al-Bukhari na Muslim)
How can we compromise between the Qur'anic Verse that reads: {So they (Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog)) could not scale it or dig through it}. (Al-Kahf, 97) and the Prophetic Hadith that is transmitted by Imam Al- Bukhari and Imam Muslim on the authority of Mother of the Believers, Zainab Bint Jahsh (May Allah be pleased with her) as saying: That the Prophet (Peace be upon him) once came to her in a state of fear and said: ('None has the right to be worshipped but Allah. Woe unto the Arabs from a danger that has come near. An opening has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog like this," making a circle with his thumb and index finger. Zainab Bint lahsh said: ('0 Allah's Messenger! Shall we be destroyed even though there are pious persons among us?" He said: "Yes, when the evil persons will increase." And in another narration: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: "Allah has made an opening in the wall of the Gog and Magog (people) like this, and he made with his hand (with the help of his fingers)." (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
Jibu ni kwamba: hili lina maana mojawapo kati ya mbili: la kwanza ni kwamba hii ni dalili ya kufunguliwa kwa milango ya uovu na fitina, na hivyo, hili ni mfano tu uliowekwa kwa ajili yetu. Mtazamo wa pili unaliona hili kama kusimulia jambo halisi kuhusu Kauli Yake: {Basi (Yajuj na Majuj (Gogu na Magogu)) walikuwa hawawezi kuupanda wala kuupasua}, yaani wakati wao, kwa kuwa sentensi iko katika wakati uliopita; jambo ambalo halipingani na uwezekano wa kutokea kwake siku zijazo kwa Idhini ya Allah Mtukufu. Lakini, kuhusu Hadithi nyingine iliyosimuliwa na Imamu Ahmad katika Musnad yake, kwamba Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Hakika Gogu na Magogu huchimba bwawa kila siku, hadi wanapoweza kuona miale ya jua (kupitia humo), kiongozi wao husema: 'Rudini, na mtalimaliza kesho.' Siku iliyofuata, wanaliona likiwa imara kama mwanzo. Hadi wakati wao uliowekwa utakapofika, na Allah atakapotaka kuwatuma dhidi ya wanadamu, wanalichimba hadi wanaweza kuona miale ya jua (kupitia humo), na kiongozi wao husema: 'Rudini, na mtalimaliza kesho, Allah akipenda!' Siku iliyofuata, wanalikuta kama walivyoliacha siku iliyotangulia, na wanalipasua na kuja dhidi ya wanadamu. Watakunywa (kila tone la maji wanalopita). Watu watakimbilia ngomeni. Na Gogu na Magogu watarusha mishale yao angani. Watakaporudi kwao wamepakwa kitu kinachofanana na damu, watasema: 'Tumewashinda watu wa ardhini na wale wa mbinguni pia.' Kisha, Allah Mtukufu huwatumia minyoo shingoni mwao inayowaua wote. Mtume ﷺ alisema: 'Naapa kwa Yule ambaye Mikononi Mwake roho ya Muhammad ﷺ ipo! Viumbe hai vya ardhini vitanenepa na kushukuru kwa kula nyama yao na (kunywa) damu yao.'" Imamu Ahmad aliipokea pia kupitia kwa Hasan bin Musa, baada ya Sufyan, baada ya Qatadah. At-Tirmidhi alipokeza Hadith hiyo hiyo kwa mapokezi ya Abu Awanah kutoka kwa Qatadah, kisha akasema: "Ni Hadith Gharib ambayo haikutufikia isipokuwa kupitia mnyororo huu wa wapokezi."
The answer is that: this means one of two things: the first is that this is an indication of the opening of gates of evil and turmoil and hence, this is a mere example set for us. The second view considers this as narrating a concrete matter for His Statement, {So they (Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog)] could not scale it or dig through it}, i.e. at their time for the sentence is in the past tense, the matter which does not contradict the possibility of its taking place in the future with the Permission of Allah the Almighty. But, as for the other Hadith that is narrated by Imam Ahmed in his Musnad that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: "Verily, Gog and Magog dig through the dam every day, till they could see the sun rays (through it), their leader would say: 'Go back and you will finish it tomorrow. ' On the next day, they find it as strong as before. Till when their appointed term comes and Allah desires to send them against mankind, they dig it till they could see the sun rays (through it) and their leader says: 'Go back and you will finish it tomorrow, if Allah wills!' On the next day, they find it as they had left the day before and they dig through it and come against mankind. They will drink (every drop of water they pass by). The people will resort to strongholds. And, Gog and Magog will throw their arrows towards the sky. When they come back to them stained with what looks like blood, they will say: 'we have defeated the people on earth and those in the heaven as well.’ Then, Allah the Almighty sends against them worms in their necks that kill them all. Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) said: 'By Whom in Whose Hand Muhammed's soul rests! Living creatures of the earth would go fat and be thankful due to eating their flesh and (drinking their) blood. ", Imam Ahmed transmitted it also on the authority of Hasan Ibn Musa after Sufyan after Qatadah. At-Tirmidhi transmitted the same Hadith on the authority of Abu, Awanah after Qatadah, then he said: it is a Strange Hadith that reached us from none but this Chain of Transmission.
