Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (lo! we have appointed it) we mentioned it as (a torment) a trial (for wrong-doers) abu jahl and his host, for they said: the zaqqum is nothing but dates and butter.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : we have indeed made it, for that reason [sc. its being a tree in the fire], a trial for the wrongdoers?, namely, [for] the disbelievers of mecca, for they said, ‘fire consumes trees so how can it make them grow forth?’
