HOW WE WILL BE RESURRECTED

1887

“Between the blowing of two horns there are forty.” Someone asked me, (Abu Hurairah), ‘Is it forty days?’ I replied, ‘I am not sure.’ I was asked, ‘Is it forty months?’ Once again I said, ‘I am not sure.’ I said, ‘The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, continued saying: Every part of the human body will disintegrate except the coccyx at the base of the spine from which its second creation will come. Then Allah will send down rain from heaven and people will grow like vegetables.'"

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
