Hadith #40665
وعنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: " بين النفختين أربعون" قالوا: يا أبا هريرة أربعون يوماً؟ قال: أبيت، قالوا: أربعون سنة؟ قال: أبيت، قالوا: أربعون شهراً؟ قال: أبيت" ويبلى كل شئ من الإنسان إلا عجب ذنبه، فيه يركب الخلق، ثم ينزل الله من السماء ماء، فينبتون كما ينبت البقل" ((متفق عليه)).
And on his authority, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said: “Forty between the two blasts.” They said: O Abu Hurairah, forty days? He said: I did not. They said: Forty years? He said: I did not. They said: Forty months? He said: I did not. And everything of man will be destroyed except the tip of his tail. In it He rides creation. Then God sends down water from the sky. And they will grow as plants grow.” (Agreed upon)
