Intro
Some former Ahmadi’s are doing it again, they keep clutching at straws as they cope with their Ahmadi beliefs. Recently, one of them alleged that Ka’b al-Ahbar was known to spread Israʼiliyyat and somehow had introduced some Jewish concepts of Gog and Magog into Islam! Also check out MGA and his writings on Gog and Magog.
However, we did find the narration by Ka’b al-Ahbar and there is nothing wrong in it, it is posted in the below and herein. Ka’b al-Ahbar didn’t mention anything about Eisa (As) in this instance thus, the entire argument falls apart. According to texts citing his traditions (such as the Sirat al-Iskandar), Ka’b claimed that only Gog descends directly from Adam, while Magog was born from a separate supernatural or distinct lineage, this seems to be the only difference. However, it should be noted that Ibn Kathir noted that certain narrations regarding the daily digging of the wall were accidentally elevated to Marfu’ (attributed directly to Prophet Muhammad) by later sub-narrators. Ibn Kathir alleged that these descriptions actually originated as an Israeli story transmitted directly from Ka’b al-Ahbar. Ibn Kathir made a huge mistake. This is a huge mistake because there are 30+ hadith narrated from multiple sahaba like Jabir, Ibn Hujr, Abu Hurraira, Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri, Shuba, Zainab Bint Jahsh, Ibn Abbas, Fatima, Sufyan, Hudhaifa b. Usaid al-Ghafari, Hudhaifa b. Usaid, Hudhaifa Bin Asid, Abu Sariha, An-Nawwas Bin Sa’man al-Kilabi and
Abu Sa’id Al-Khudr.
Further, the Islamic story of Gog and Magog mentions a wall and how it is built every day (via hadith). This is unique to Islam and alien to Christianity and Judaism. In fact, there is a sahih hadith in Sahih Muslim 2937a wherein Eisa (as) is called “Nabi-Ullah” 4 times and Gog and Magog are explained as a torment that will be unleashed after Eisa (as) physically returns. Even Eisa (as) will not be able to kill Gog and Magog and he will get a wahi on Mount Tur which will cause birds to attack Gog and Magog until all of them are killed. Ironically, in Kitāb al-Tamyīz (The Book of Distinction) by Imam Muslim, he alleges that via the students of Abu Hurraira, that after Abu Hurraira would give a speech and lave, his students would mix up narrations of Muhammad (Saw) and Ka’b al-Ahbar and thus be careful (See by Yasir Qadhi).
Further, I have 31+ hadith wherein the wall of Gog and Magog are mentioned as well as other details like the Gog and Magog shooting arrows into the sky vs. Allah (See Sahih Muslim 2937b [via Jabir, Ibn Hujr)], Sahih al-Bukhari 3347 (via Abu Hurraira), the wall is mentioned, in Sahih al-Bukhari 7136, Abu Hurraira mentions the hole in the wall.
