Ja'thal bin 'Ahan, like Qunfudh, was neglected by Al-Jawhari, but Al-Sagani and Al-Hafiz said: He is the judge of Ifriqiya, one of the reciters and jurists, from the followers of the Tabi'in.

الجَعْثَل، كجعفر: العظيم البطن، وهو مقلوب العثجل، ومنه حديث ابن عباس، رضي الله عنهما: ستة لا يدخلون الجنة، فذكر الجواظ والجعثل، فقيل له: ما الجعثل قال: الفظ الغليظ.
Al-Ja'thal, like Ja'far: the large-bellied. It is an inversion of Al-'Athjal. And from it is the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both: Six will not enter Paradise, and he mentioned Al-Jawazh and Al-Ja'thal. So he was asked: What is Al-Ja'thal? He said: The rude, the coarse.
