Sahih al-Bukhari 4728 (Book 65, Hadith 456)
Somebody asked Abu Huraira, “Forty days?” But he refused to reply. Then he asked, “Forty months?”
He refused to reply. Then he asked, “Forty years?” Again, he refused to reply. Abu Huraira added.
“Then (after this period) Allah will send water from the sky and then the dead bodies will grow like
vegetation grows, There is nothing of the human body that does not decay except one bone; that is the
little bone at the end of the coccyx of which the human body will be recreated on the Day of
Resurrection.” (See Hadith No. 338)
