Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 4-1345b
"عنْ عَلِيٍّ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ التُّرْكِ؟ فَقَالَ: هُمْ سَيَّارَةٌ ولَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَصْلٌ، هُمْ مِنْ يَأجُوجَ وَمَأجُوجَ، لَكِنَّهُمْ خَرَجُوا يُغِيرُونَ عَلَى النَّاسِ، فَجَاءَ ذُو القرْنَيْنِ فَسَدَّ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِهِمْ، فَذَهَبُوا سَيَّارَة فِى الأرْضِ".

"From 'Ali: that he was asked about the Turks, and he said: They are wanderers and have no origin. They are from Ya'juj and Ma'juj, but they came out raiding the people, so Dhu al-Qarnayn came and blocked between them and their people, and they went off wandering in the earth."
