Summary
The hadith narrated by Imam Muslim from al-Nawwas bin Sam'an RA states that Gog and Magog (Ya'juj and Ma'juj) will drink the water of Lake Tabari until it is dry, and it is classed as an authentic hadith. The event takes place when they emerge in the end times, and their emergence is among the major signs of the Day of Judgement. It also indicates their very large numbers, in line with Surah al-Anbiya' verse 96, which says they will rush down from every high place.
