The Shaykh : This... the actions are in Musnad.
The questioner : The supports are the veins of the two private parts.

The questioner : What is the meaning of the supports falling away from him? How do the supports fall away?
The Shaykh : It is an expression for the severity of the punishment.
The questioner: That is to say ...
The Shaykh : He interpreted the supports just as you say.
The questioner : The believer is pressed and the pressure... meaning.
The Shaykh : His ribs do not interlock, and no one escapes from it, not even Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, as he (peace be upon him) said in some of the authentic hadiths.
The questioner : Does the pressure cause him pain?
The Shaykh : Without a doubt, this... meaning, if the ribs interlock, this is severe pain, but it does not continue; it is one pressure and then everything returns to its normal state. If he is righteous, then it is good for him; and if he is wicked, then it is bad for him, as we explained earlier regarding the fact that a door is opened for the deceased in the grave.
The questioner : Is the pressure necessary?
The Shaykh : It is necessary.
The questioner : This severe one. May Allah help us.
The Shaykh : May Allah help us. There is no god but Allah.
