Transliteration:( Laisa lahum ta'aamun illaa min daree' )
✅ In 🔥 Hell, the sinners will have no food except a bitter, thorny plant.
✅ This food is known as DAREE’, a type of poisonous and thorny grass that grows in Arabia.
📖 Daree’ has the following characteristics:
🔹 It is thorny and poisonous, causing fiery effects in the stomachs of animals that consume it.
🔹 It is unpalatable and harmful, making it unbearable for consumption.
🔹 It is also referred to as "thorns of fire," meaning thorns that will set the belly on fire.
📖 The food of the sinners varies based on their status in 🔥 Hell:
🔹 Daree’ is the food of some groups of sinners.
🔹 Zaqqum is another food, which consists of salinity and pus.
📖 The infidels did not care about lawful earnings in the world. They engaged in:
🔹 Interest (Riba), gambling, pork consumption, and other forbidden acts.
🔹 As a punishment, they will be given such disgusting and painful food in 🔥 Hell.
✅ Only the infidels will be fed such tormenting food.
✅ Sinful believers may enter 🔥 Hell temporarily, but if (اللَّهُ) Allah wills, they will be safeguarded from consuming such food.
The tafsir of Surah Ghashiyah 6 verse by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Ghashiyah ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 7.
(88:6) They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns[3]
3. At some places in the Quran, it has been stated that the dwellers of Hell will be given zaqqum to eat; at another place it has been said that they will have no other food but ghislin (washing from wounds), and here that their only food will be thorny dry grass. There is, in fact, no contradiction between these statements. This may as well mean that Hell will have many different compartments in which different categories of the criminals will be lodged according to their crimes, and subjected to different punishments. This may also mean that if they try to avoid zaqqum they will be given ghislin, and if they try to avoid even that, they will only get thorny grass. In short, they would get nothing to suit their taste.
