Editing Gog and Magog (section)

=== In Sunni and Shia sources ===
According to a tradition in Shia sources, Yajooj and Majooj are not from the Children of Adam (the human race). Al-Kafi, one of their primary collections of ahadith although by a non-Shia chain, states that it has been narrated from [[Ibn Abbas]] that when he asked [[Ali]] about the "creatures", he responded by saying God has created "1,200 species on the land, 1,200 species in the sea, 70 species from the Children of Adam and the people are the Children of Adam except for the Yajooj and Majooj".<ref name="Kulayni">{{cite book |last1=al-Kulayni |first1=Muhammad ibn Ya‘qūb |title=Al-Kafi |date=2015 |publisher=Islamic Seminary Incorporated |isbn=9780991430864 |edition=Volume 8}}</ref> Al-Majlisi, an influential Shia scholar, quotes another tradition linking them to Chinese, Slavs, and Turkic people, and saying they are from the children of Adam, then saying that it is stronger than the former tradition and takes priority.<ref>[http://shiaonlinelibrary.com/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%83%D8%AA%D8%A8/1437_%D8%A8%D8%AD%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%86%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AC%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%8A-%D8%AC-%D9%A6/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D9%81%D8%AD%D8%A9_316 Bihār al-Anwār, v06, p314].</ref>

Sunni sources, including those in [[Sahih Al-Bukhari]] and [[Sahih Muslim]], indicate that they are from the Children of Adam, and this is the belief of the overwhelming majority of Islamic scholars.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Story of Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog) form The Quran – Link To Islam |url=https://www.linktoislam.net/islamic-articles/article.aspx?id=40 |website=www.linktoislam.net}}</ref>  The "Abbasid orthodoxy" believed the [[Ilkhanate]] Mongol invaders who laid [[Siege of Baghdad (1258)|siege to and then sacked Baghdad]], were Gog and Magog.{{sfn|Filiu|2011|p=54}} According to [[Sahih Muslim]], prophet Muhammad said:
{{blockquote|Then a people whom God had protected from him (dajjal) would come to Isa, son of [[Mary, mother of Jesus|Maryam]], and he would wipe their faces and would inform them of their ranks in Paradise and it would be under such conditions that God would reveal to Isa (alaihis salam) these words: I have brought forth from amongst My servants such people against whom none would be able to fight; you take these people safely to Tur, and then God would send Gog and Magog and they would swarm down from every slope. The first of them would pass the lake of Tiberias and drink out of it. And when the last of them would pass, he would say: There was once water there.}}
