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.
