The statement concerning the explanation of His word, the Exalted: وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَإِذَا هُمْ مِنَ الأَجْدَاثِ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَنْسِلُونَ ("And the Trumpet will be blown, and at once from the graves they will hasten to their Lord") (51)
The Exalted, whose mention is exalted, says وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ ("and the Trumpet will be blown") — and we have already previously mentioned the disagreement of those who dispute &; 20-531 &; and the correct ruling thereon with its proofs, in a manner that makes repetition in this place superfluous — and by this blowing is meant the blowing of the resurrection.
And His statement فَإِذَا هُمْ مِنَ الأجْدَاثِ ("and at once from the graves") means: from their graves (ajdāth), and these are their graves; the singular of it is jadath. And concerning it there exist two linguistic forms: the people of the highland (ahl al-ʿĀliya) say it with the thāʾ: jadath, while the people of the lowland (ahl al-Sāfila) say it with the fāʾ: jadaf.
