Events of the Day of Resurrection and the Beginning of Creation

Abu Hurairah Narrated from:

Aba Huraira reported God's messenger as saying, "Between the two blasts there are forty (and when Abu Huraira was asked if the forty referred to days he refused to say;[2] when asked if it referred to forty months he refused to say; and when asked if it referred to forty years he refused to say. God will then send down water from the sky and they will sprout like vegetables. The only thing in a man which does not decay is one bone, the tail-bone, from which the whole frame will be reconstituted on the day of resurrection." 1. The Trumpet; as-sur. Cf. Quran, 6:73; 18:93; 20:102, etc. 2. Mirqat, 5:229, explains this as meaning that he was unwilling to reply because he did not know. (Bukhari and Muslim.) In a version by Muslim he said, "Every son of Adam will be devoured by the earth with the exception of the tail-bone from which he was created and from which he will be reconstituted." Muslim.

He reported God's messenger as saying that on the day of resurrection God will seize the earth and fold the sky in His right hand, then say, "I am the King. Where are the kings of the earth?" (Bukhari and Muslim.)

`Abdullah bin `Umar Narrated from:

God will fold the heavens on the day of resurrection, then seizing them in His right hand He will say, "I am the King. Where are the mighty men? Where are the proud men?" He will then fold the earths in His left hand. A version states that He will take them in His other hand and then say, "I am the King. Where are the mighty men? Where are the proud men?" Muslim transmitted it.

'Abdullah bin Mas'ud Narrated from:

A Jewish doctor came to the Prophet and said, "On the day of resurrection, Muhammad, God will hold the heavens on a finger, the earths on a finger, the mountains and trees on a finger, the water and soil on a finger, and the rest of creation on a finger. He will then shake them and say, `I am the King, I am God.'"Laughing on account of being pleased at what the doctor had said and as an acknowledgment that he had spoken the truth- God's messenger recited, "They have not measured God truly. The whole earth will be His handful on the day of resurrection and the heavens will be folded in His right hand. Glory be to Him! He is exalted above what they associate with Him[*]." *Quran; 39:67 (Bukhari and Muslim.)

A'isha Narrated from:

`A'isha told that she asked God's messenger about the words of Him who is exalted, "On the day when the earth will be changed to a different earth, and also the heavens[*], wondering where mankind would be on that day. He replied that they would be on the Path. *Quran; 14:48 Muslim transmitted it.

Abu Hurairah Narrated from:

Abu Huraira reported God's messenger as saying, "The sun and the moon will be folded up on the day of resurrection." Bukhari transmitted it.

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri Narrated from:

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported God's messenger as saying. "How can I be at ease when the one who blows the trumpet has put it to his mouth, inclined his ears and bent his forehead, waiting to see when he will be ordered to blow it?" God's messenger was asked what command he had to give them and told them to say, "God is sufficient for us and an excellent guardian is He." * *Quran; 3:173 Tirmidhi transmitted it.

'Abdullah bin 'Amr Narrated from:

`Abdallah b. `Amr reported the Prophet as saying, "The trumpet is a horn which will be blown." Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud and Darimi transmitted it.

Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:

Ibn `Abbas said regarding the words of Him who is exalted, "When the trump (naqur) is sounded,"[1] that it is the sur. He said the rajifa[2] is the first blast and the radifa[3] is the second. Quran; 74:8 Quran; 79:6 Quran; 79:7 Bukhari transmitted it in a chapter heading.
