Question
Could you tell me how authentic is the statement below and pls state references.
——-
A man told the Prophet (pbuh) that he had seen the dam of Gog Magog.
The Prophet asked “How did you find it?”
The man said he found it like Al Burd and Al Muhabar (striped garments).”
The Prophet (pbuh) said, “you have seen it”
JazakAllah
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
This Hadeeth was cited by Al-Bukhaari in his Saheeh, with the chain of narrators being omitted as a Mursal report that is attributed to Qataadah 
.
A group of Hadeeth scholars classified it as inauthentic. For instance, Ibn Katheer said in Al-Bidaayah wa An-Nihaayah: “I did not find it with a fully connected chain of narration that I would approve.” [End of quote] Al-Albaani also classified it as inauthentic in Mukhtasar Al-Bukhaari and in As-Silsilah Adh-Dha‘eefah.
On the other hand, Ibn Hajar reinforced it (by other supportive narrations) in his book Taghleeq At-Ta‘leeq and said: “Al-Bazzaar narrated it in his Musnad with a Hasan (sound) chain of narration.”
Allah Knows best.
