Al-Bukhari (1), and Muslim about him (2), and similarly Hammad bin Salama was collecting it and narrating it, and similarly Suleiman bin Harb and his likes, this is not said about them, and the wording of the people of the Hellfire is not specific to the monotheists, but is specific to those apart from them, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) fought: "As for the people of the fire who are its people, then they will not die in it, nor will they live" (3). And His saying: they will exit from it, meaning they will exit from Hell after its punishment expires and is cut off.
فَهُمْtheyلَاnotيَخْرُجُونَexitمِنْهَاfrom itيَعْنِيmeaningجَهَنَّمَHell،,بَلْbutهُمْtheyخَالِدُونَare perpetually presentفِيinجَهَنَّمَHellكَمَاasأَخْبَرَinformedٱللَّهُAllahسُبْحَانَهُGlorified is Heوَتَعَالَىٰand Exalted is He.
So they do not exit from it, meaning Hell, but they are perpetually present in Hell as Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, informed.
لَكِنْbutإِذَاifاِنْقَضَىthe end comesأَجَلُهَاits term،,وَفَنِيَتْand expired likeكَمَاasتَفْنَىthe world expiresالدُّنْيَاthe world،,لَمْnotيَبْقَremainفِيَهَاin itعَذَابٌpunishment،,وَذَٰلِكَand thatأَنْthatالْعَالَمَthe universeلَاnotيُعَدَّمَis eliminated،,وَجَهَنَّمُand Hellفِيinالْأَرْضِthe earth،,وَالأَرْضُand the earthلَاnotتُعَدَّمَis eliminatedبِالْكُلِّيَّةِcompletely،,وَلَٰكِنْbutفَنَاؤُهَاits destructionبِتَغْيِيرٍby the change(٤)(4)حَالِهَاof its state،,وَاسْتِحَالَتِهَاand its transformationمِنْfromحَالٍone stateإِلَىtoحَالٍanother state(٥)(5)
But if the end of it comes and it expires as the world expires, there will be no punishment left in it, and that the universe is not eliminated, and Hell is in the earth, and the earth is not eliminated completely, but its destruction is by the change (4) of its state, and its transformation from one state to another (5).

As He, the Most High, said: {Every who is on it is passing away.} (6), and they are not eliminated (7) but they die, and are destroyed, as He, the Most High, said: {What is with you will expire, and what is with Allah will remain.} (8).

(5) The scholars differ in whether the replacing of the earth on the Day of Resurrection is a replacing of essence or a replacing of attribute; see the interpretation of Al-Tabari 13/249-254, he chose, may Allah have mercy on him, that this earth, which we are on today, will be replaced by another on the Day of Resurrection, and did not discuss whether the replacement is of attribute or of essence, because nothing of that has been mentioned.
