Then will he, Jesus, the Prophet of Allah, plead, and thereupon will Allah spawn burrowing worms in their [Gog and Magog's] necks, and they will become preys, dropping off as in the death of one soul. Then he will climb down, Jesus, the Prophet of Allah, with his companions, and they will not find on the earth a handspan-long place that was not filled with their rot and putrefaction, and so will Jesus, the Prophet of Allah, and his companions plead to Allah. Then shall Allah send down rain, and there shall be after it no house of mud nor wool so that He may wash out the earth till He leaves it like a nacre-shell.
