It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) mentioned the angel who will blow the trumpet and said: On his right will be Jibril (Gabriel), peace be upon him, and on his left will be Mikail (Michael), peace be upon him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is the Sur (Trumpet)? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is a horn in which it will be blown.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The two angels who will blow the trumpet are at the two ends of the sky. They are so enormous that the head of one is in the east and his feet are in the west. Or the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The head of one is in the west and his feet are in the east. They are waiting for the command as to when they will be ordered to blow the trumpet, so they will blow it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: How can I rejoice when the angel entrusted with the trumpet has placed the trumpet to his mouth, lowered his forehead, and is attentively listening for the command from Allah Almighty as to when he will be ordered to blow the trumpet? Upon hearing this, the Muslims asked: O Messenger of Allah! What should we say? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You should say: Ḥasbunallāhu wa ni‘mal-wakīl, ‘alallāhi tawakkalnā — Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs; upon Allah alone we have placed our trust.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: How can I be happy when the angel who is to blow the trumpet has taken the trumpet to his mouth, lowered his forehead, and has placed his ears towards Allah Almighty, standing in wait for when he will be commanded to blow the trumpet? When the Companions heard this, it was very hard on them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: Recite this phrase: "Hasbunallahu wa ni‘mal wakeel" (Allah is sufficient for us and He is the best disposer of affairs).
