[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the verse {A day when children will become grey-headed}. He said, "That is on the Day of Resurrection, when Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, will say to Adam: 'Get up and send forth from your offspring to Hell.' Adam will say, 'From how many, O Lord?' He will say, 'From every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine, and one will be saved.' This will be very hard on the Muslims, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ knew that. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said when he saw it in their faces: 'Indeed, the sons of Adam are many, and among them are Ya'juj and Ma'juj, and not one of them will die until he leaves a thousand sons, and among them and their counterparts are soldiers for you.'"  

الطبراني:١٢٠٣٤حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الْعَلَّافُ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ أَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَرَأَ {يَوْمًا يَجْعَلُ الْوِلْدَانَ شِيبًا} قَالَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ وَذَلِكَ يَوْمٌ يَقُولُ اللهُ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ لِآدَمَ قُمْ فَابْعَثْ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ بَعْثًا إِلَى النَّارِ فَقَالَ مِنْ كَمْ يَا رَبِّ؟ قَالَ مَنْ أَلْفٍ تِسْعُمِائَةٍ وَتِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعِينَ وَيَنْجُو وَاحِدٌ فَاشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَرَفَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ أَبْصَرَ ذَلِكَ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ «إِنَّ بَنِي آدَمَ كَثِيرٌ وَإِنَّ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مِنْ وَلَدِ آدَمَ وَإِنَّهُ لَا يَمُوتُ مِنْهُمْ رَجُلٌ حَتَّى يَرِثَهُ لِصُلْبِهِ أَلْفُ رَجُلٍ وَفِيهِمْ وَفِي أشباهِهِمْ جُنَّةٌ لَكُمْ»
