The Number of Blasts of the Trumpet

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some scholars have mentioned that there are three blasts of the Trumpet, while others have mentioned that there are five. What is the maximum number, and what is the opinion?

Answer:
What is in the Qur'an is that there are three. The first is the blast of terror,
And [warn of] the Day the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will be terrified except whom Allah willsوَيَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَفَزِعَ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَن شَاءَ اللَّهُ
[An-Naml 27:87]
. This is the blast of terror in Surat al-Naml. The second blast is the blast of stunning. The third blast is the blast of resurrection.
And He will blow the Trumpet, and those in the heavens and those on the earth will be stunned, except whom Allah wills.ونفخ في الصور فصعق من في السماوات ومن في الأرض إلا من شاء الله
Sahih Ibn Hibban 64:221
The third blast, then He blows in it another, and then they come forth looking around. The third blast. This is what is in the Qur'an: three blasts. As for more than this, I do not know where it came from.
