The reader: His statement: , in the hadith of Ibn 'Umar: Sunan an-Nasa'i 5326Sahih (Darussalam), and in the narration of al-Rabi' ibn Muslim in Muslim: Sahih Muslim 2088a, and similarly in the narration of Abu Rafi', and it appeared in the narration of Hammad from Abu Hurayrah in Ahmad: .
And *tajallujal* with two jims means moving, and it was said that *jaljal* is movement accompanied by sound. Ibn Durayd said: Anything whose parts you mix together, you have *jallajaltu* it. And Ibn Faris said: *Tajallujal* is sinking into the earth with severe agitation and moving from one crack to another. So the meaning is that he moves in the earth, meaning he descends into it agitated and pushed about.
And 'Iyad reported that it was narrated: *yitajallal*...
The Shaykh : It was narrated.
The questioner : That it was narrated as *yitajallal* with one jim and a heavy lam, and it means to cover, i.e., the earth covers him. And he also reported from some narrations: *yitakhakhkhil* with two emphatic kha's, and he found it unlikely unless it is from their saying: *khalkhalt al-'azm* when you take the meat off the bone. And it came in other than the two Sahihs.
The Shaykh : *Yitakhakhkhil*. *Yitakhakhkhil* with two kha's he says. *Yitakhakhkhil*.
The questioner : *Yitakhakhkhil* with two emphatic kha's, and he found it unlikely unless it is from their saying: *khalkhalt al-'azm* when you take the meat off the bone. And it came in other than the two Sahihs.
The Shaykh : May Allah have mercy on you.
The questioner : *Yitahallahl* with two non-emphatic ha's. I said: All of these are misspellings except the first one. And the implication of this hadith is that the earth does not eat the body of this man, so how is it possible to use it as a riddle and say: a disbeliever whose body does not decay after death.
The Shaykh : Does not decay.
The questioner : His body does not decay after death.
The Shaykh : Only?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, this is then a certainty that he died, but his body remains.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes?
So he moves in the earth until the Day of Resurrection
فهو يتجلجل إلى يوم القيامةand he will continue sinking into it until the Day of Resurrection
فهو يتجلجل في الأرض إلى يوم القيامةhe would go on sinking in the earth until the Last Hour would come
فهو يتجلجل في الأرض حتى تقوم الساعةUntil the Day of Resurrection
حتى يوم القيامةAnd *tajallujal* with two jims means moving, and it was said that *jaljal* is movement accompanied by sound.
