Volume 6, Book 60, Number 457:
Narrated Al–Amash:
Abu Huraira said, "Allah's Apostle said, 'Between the two sounds of the trumpet, there will be
forty." Somebody asked Abu Huraira, "Forty days?" But he refused to reply. Then he asked, "Forty
months?" He refused to reply. Then he asked, "Forty years?" Again, he refused to reply. Abu Huraira
added. "Then (after this period) Allah will send water from the sky and then the dead bodies will
grow like vegetation grows, There is nothing of the human body that does not decay except one
bone; that is the little bone at the end of the coccyx of which the human body will be recreated on
the Day of Resurrection." (See Hadith No. 338)
