These hadiths belong to the section of concise, miscellaneous narrations, and we have already spoken about many of them. Here are four traditions from Abu Hurayrah—may Allah be pleased with him. He heard the Prophet ﷺ say: “Between the two blasts of the Trumpet there are forty,” referring to the blowing of the Trumpet. The Trumpet is entrusted to an angel from among the angels called Israfil.
