Question:
The questioner says: Some scholars mentioned that the number of Surahs is three, while others mentioned that it is five. What is the maximum number, and what is the stronger position?
Answer:
The Qur'an states that there are three. The blast of terror[An-Naml 27:87], this is the blast of terror. The second is the blast of the swoon, and the third is the blast of resurrection [Az-Zumar 39:68]. This is what is in the Qur'an: three blasts. As for more than that, I do not know what it is.

Answer:
The Qur'an states that there are three. 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 wills
وَيَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَفَزِعَ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَن شَاءَ اللَّهُAnd the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will fall dead except whom Allah wills. Then it will be blown again, and at once they will be standing, looking on.
وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَن شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيهِ أُخْرَىٰ فَإِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَنظُرُونَ
