Question

Is it true that the progeny of Gog and Magog were created as a result of a wet dream of Nabi Adam (‘alayhis salam)?

 

Answer

Hafiz Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) states, “This is an extremely unreliable view (munkarun jiddan) which has no basis except from some Historical sources.”

(Fathul Bari, before Hadith: 3346, vol. 6, pg. 386. Also see: Al Al Minhaj of ‘Allamah Nawawi, Hadith: 531)

This should therefore not be quoted.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

فتح الباري لابن حجر: (٦/ ٣٨٦)
وقد أشار النووي وغيره إلى حكاية من زعم أن آدم نام فاحتلم فاختلط منيه بتراب فتولد منه ولد يأجوج ومأجوج من نسله وهو قول منكر جدا لا أصل له إلا عن بعض أهل الكتاب.

شرح النووي على مسلم:
(٥٣١) – وقال كعب هم بادرة من ولد آدم من غير حواء قال وذلك أن آدم صلى الله عليه وسلم احتلم فامتزجت نطفته بالتراب فخلق الله تعالى منها يأجوج ومأجوج والله أعلم.
