Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِنَّ صَاحِبَىِ الصُّورِ بِأَيْدِيهِمَا - أَوْ فِي أَيْدِيهِمَا - قَرْنَانِ يُلاَحِظَانِ النَّظَرَ مَتَى يُؤْمَرَانِ " .
Translation
Abu Sa‘id reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: ‘The two entrusted with the Trumpet have two horns in their hands—or, according to another wording, in their possession—and keep their gaze fixed, awaiting when they will be commanded.’
