Is it true that the tree from which Adam ate is the zaqqum?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I ask Allah to do you good, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some people say that the tree from which Adam (peace be upon him) ate in Paradise, which caused him to be expelled from it, is the tree of zaqqum. Is this correct?
The Shaykh:
This is invalid. There is no zaqqum in Paradise. This is in the Fire. This is what he knows and narrates; he narrates what he does not know. The tree of zaqqum is in the Fire; it is not in Paradise. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says:
The Shaykh:
It is a tree that grows. Where does it grow? At the root of the blazing Fire. Where did the people of Paradise bring this from? This ignorant person? Yes.
