What is the meaning of: (a rope of the ropes)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: A mountain of the mountains?

The Shaykh : No, we have "habl" (rope), do you have "jabal" (mountain)?
The student: Habl, habl.

The Shaykh : There is no indication in the commentary regarding the second narrations.
The reader: "His statement:
having the path taken by those who went on foot in front of him وجعل حبل المشاة بين يديه
Sunan Abi Dawud 1905Sahih (Al-Albani)
, it was narrated as 'habl' with a hā' and a sakinah on the bā', and it was narrated as 'jabal' with a jīm and a fathah on the bā'. Qadi Iyadh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The first is more fitting for the hadith. 'Habl al-mashā' means their gathering, and 'habl al-raml' is the long and thick part of the sand. As for the one with a jīm, its meaning is their path, and where the infantry walk."


The Shaykh : The mountain of the infantry is not this; rather, it is every time he came to a rope of the ropes that followed.
The reader: Yes: His statement "Every time he came to a rope of the ropes, he let it go a little until it ascended, until he reached Muzdalifah: The 'hupul' here is with a hā' and a kasrah, the plural of 'habl,' which is the gentle mound of the large sand. And his statement: 'until it ascended' is with a fathah on the tā' and a dammah on it; it is said: 'I ascended the rope' and 'I caused it to ascend.' From this is His statement, the Exalted:
when you were ascending إذ تصعدون
And as for Muzdalifah, it is well known. It was named so from 'tazalluf' and 'izdalaf,' which means drawing near, because when the pilgrims depart from 'Arafah, they draw near to it, meaning they proceed to it and draw close to it. It was also said it was named so because people come to it in the 'zulf' of the night, meaning the hours. It is called 'Jama' with a fathah on the jīm and a sakinah on the mīm. It was named so because of the gathering of people in it. It is known that all of Muzdalifah is from the Haram. Al-Azraqi in the History of Makkah, Al-Mawardi, and our companions in the books of the madhhab, and others, said: The boundary of Muzdalifah is between the two passes of 'Arafah and the Wadi Mahsir; the two boundaries are not part of it. And all those valleys and the 'hupul' that fall within the mentioned boundary are included in Muzdalifah."
