English Translation

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be well pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: «Between the two blowings of the Trumpet there will be forty.» They said: O Abu Hurayrah, forty days? He said: I refuse to answer. They said: Forty months? He said: I refuse to answer. They said: Forty years? He said: I refuse to answer. Then Allah will send down rain from the sky, and they will sprout like herbs sprout. And there is nothing of man that does not decay except one bone, which is the tailbone, from which the creation will be reconstructed on the Day of Resurrection.
