Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(And the trumpet is blown) this is the blowing of death, (and all who are in the heavens and the earth swoon away) die, (save him whom Allah willeth) except those who are in Paradise or hell; it is also said this means: except Gabriel, Michael, Seraphiel and the angel of death who will not die upon the first blowing of the Trumpet but will die later. (Then it is blown a second time) which is the blowing of the Resurrection. This will happen 40 years after the first blow of the Trumpet and then the sky will rain something like men's sperm drops, (and behold them standing) from the grave (waiting) for what they will be told!
