Why did Ibn Malik pronounce the word "kaysham" with a sukun, and is it an example of the jussive present tense verb?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... kaysham.

The Shaykh : No, it is not in the jussive case, may Allah reward you. But it has a sukun for the sake of the meter. If it were not at the end of the verse, we would say kayshammu.

The questioner : But the author cites it as an example.

The Shaykh : No, no, it is not in the jussive case.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : It is an example of the present tense only; it is not an example of the jussive present tense. It is an example of the present tense only. It appears that he entered and then the time passed.
