Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations.

Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.

ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ وَصْفِ الْفِتْنَةِ الَّتِي يَبْتَلِي اللَّهُ عِبَادَهُ بِهَا عِنْدَ خُرُوجِ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ

ibnhibban:6830Aḥmad b. ʿAlī b. al-Muthanná > Abū Khaythamah > Yaʿqūb b. Ibrāhīm b. Saʿd from my father > Ibn Isḥāq > ʿĀṣim b. ʿUmar b. Qatādah al-Anṣārī Thum al-Ẓafarī > Maḥmūd b. Labīd Aḥad Banī ʿAbd al-Ashhal > Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī

[Machine] I have heard the messenger of Allah, ﷺ , say, "Yajuj and Majuj will be released and they will emerge upon people as Allah has said, 'And they, from every elevated place, they will descend.' The Muslims will take shelter in their cities and fortresses, taking their livestock and drinking the water of the earth. Some of them will pass by a river and say, 'There used to be water here once.' When there is no one left except those in a fortress or city, it will be said, 'These are the people of the earth, we have gotten rid of them. Only the people of the sky remain.' One of them will shake his spear and throw it towards the sky, and it will return to them stained with blood, as a trial and tribulation. Meanwhile, Allah will send worms that will enter their necks, like the stifling of a locust. They will all perish until there will be no sound heard from them. The Muslims will say, 'Is there any man who can go and see what these enemies have done?' One man will go and investigate, considering himself already martyred. He will find them dead, some lying upon others, and he will call out, 'O Muslim people! Rejoice! Surely, Allah has already given you victory over your enemies!' They will then come out from their cities and fortresses and release their livestock."

"Gog and Magog people will be set free and they will emerge as Allah says: "swoop(ing) down from every mound."[21:96] They will spread throughout the earth, and the Muslims will flee from them until the remainder of the Muslims are in their cities and fortresses, taking their flocks with them. They will pass by a river and drink from it, until they leave nothing behind, and the last of them will follow in their footsteps and one of them will say: 'There was once water in this place.' They will prevail over the earth, then their leader will say: 'These are the people of the earth, and we have finished them off. Now let us fight the people of heaven!' Then one of them will throw his spear towards the sky, and it will come back down smeared with blood. And they will say: 'We have killed the people of heaven.' While they are like that, Allah will send a worm like the worm that is found in the noses of sheep, which will penetrate their necks and they will die like locusts, one on top of another. In the morning the Muslims will not hear any sound from them, and they will say: 'Who will sell his soul for the sake of Allah and see what they are doing?' A man will go down, having prepared himself to be killed by them, and he will find them dead, so he will call out to them: 'Be of good cheer, for your enemy is dead!' Then the people will come out and let their flocks loose, but they will not have anything to graze on except their flesh, and they will become very fat as if they were grazing on the best vegetation they ever found.'"
