أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ
الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا بَيْنَ النَّفْخَتَيْنِ أَرْبَعُونَ " ، قَالُوا يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ : أَرْبَعُونَ يَوْمًا ، قَالَ : أَبَيْتُ ، قَالُوا : أَرْبَعُونَ شَهْرًا ، قَالَ : أَبَيْتُ ، قَالُوا : أَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً ، قَالَ : أَبَيْتُ ، ثُمَّ يُنْزِلُ اللَّهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً ، فَيَنْبُتُونَ كَمَا يَنْبُتُ الْبَقْلُ ، قَالَ : وَلَيْسَ مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا يَبْلَى إِلَّا عَظْمًا وَاحِدًا ، وَهُوَ عَجْبُ الذَّنَبِ ، وَمِنْهُ يُرَكَّبُ الْخَلْقُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Between the two blowiings of the trumpet (there would be an interval of forty). They said: Abu Hurairah (RA) , do you mean forty days? He said: I cannot say anything. They said: Do you mean fortv months? He said: I cannot say anything They said: Do you mean forty years? He said: I cannot say anything. Then Allah would cause the water to, descend from the sky and they (people) will sprout like vegetable. The only thing in a man which would not decay would be one bone (spinal chord) from which the whole frame would be reconstituted on the Day of Resurrection.
