Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (Then, indeed, you, O you who are astray and deny the truth)

Allah the Exalted said:

Then, indeed, you

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ

[Al-Waqi'ah: 51] meaning after the resurrection

O those astray [who are] deniers,

أَيُّهَا الضَّالُّونَ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ

[Al-Waqi'ah: 51] those who are astray in their deeds, so they do not act, and those who deny the news, so they do not believe, and may Allah protect us from that,

Will be eating from trees of zaqqum

لَآكِلُونَ مِنْ شَجَرٍ مِنْ زَقُّومٍ

[Al-Waqi'ah: 52] eating from a tree, this tree is of the type called Zaqqum, just as you would say a ring of iron, a door of wood, a wall of clay,His saying:

from trees of zaqqum

مِنْ شَجَرٍ مِنْ زَقُّومٍ

[Al-Waqi'ah 56:52]

from a tree of Zaqqum, "of Zaqqum" specifies the tree, and it is called Zaqqum because when a person—may Allah protect us from that—eats it, he swallows it with great difficulty due to the intensity of the swallowing; he does not swallow it easily.

So they will fill their bellies with it

فَمَالِئُونَ مِنْهَا الْبُطُونَ

[Al-Waqi'ah: 53] meaning that they fill their bellies from this tree, even though this tree is bitter, foul-smelling, and ugly to look at, but because of the intensity of their hunger, they eat it just as a desperate hungry person eats dung, and just as one eats his own vomit, so they eat it with aversion,As Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:

and he will be given a drink of purulent water. ⁽¹⁷⁾ He will gulp it but will hardly [be able to] swallow it. And death will come to him from everywhere, but he is not to die.

وَيُسْقَى مِنْ مَاءٍ صَدِيدٍ * يَتَجَرَّعُهُ وَلا يَكَادُ يُسِيغُهُ وَيَأْتِيهِ الْمَوْتُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَمَا هُوَ بِمَيِّتٍ

[Ibrahim: 16-17] they eat from this tree and fill their bellies with it, then a thirst comes to them, a very great thirst for eating, until they fill their bellies with what they dislike, and this is more severe in the punishment, we ask Allah for safety. Despite this, when their bellies are filled with this, their need for drinking increases,So how do they drink? Allah the Exalted said:

And drinking on top of it from scalding water

فَشَارِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ الْحَمِيمِ

[Al-Waqi'ah: 54] al-Hamim: hot water, they drink from hot water after having called for help for a long period,And Allah described this water by saying:

they will be relieved with water like murky oil, which scalds [their] faces. Wretched is the drink, and evil is the resting place.

يُغَاثُوا بِمَاءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ يَشْوِي الْوُجُوهَ بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُ وَسَاءَتْ مُرْتَفَقاً

[Al-Kahf: 29] And He, Mighty and Majestic, said:

and are given to drink scalding water that will sever their intestines?

وَسُقُوا مَاءً حَمِيماً فَقَطَّعَ أَمْعَاءَهُمْ

[Muhammad: 15] So reflect, my brother, on this! If they bring it near their faces, it scorches them, and when it enters their bellies, it cuts their intestines, and despite this, they drink it intensely,He says:

And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.

فَشَارِبُونَ شُرْبَ الْهِيمِ

[Al-Waqi'ah: 55] meaning the drinking of the wandering camels to water, which a small amount does not quench, so they fill their bellies, and may Allah protect us from that, from the Zaqqum tree, and they drink from al-Hamim.

The drinking of the thirsty

شُرْبَ الْهِيمِ

meaning: the drinking of the camels (al-Haym) the plural of Haimah or the plural of (Haymah) meaning: that they are extremely thirsty, so they fill their bellies, and their bellies are as in the authentic hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family): (with them their water skin—which is the belly that fills with water—and their shoe) I ask Allah to protect me and you from the Fire.

That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.

هَذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ الدِّينِ

[Al-Waqi'ah: 56] meaning: this is their hospitality, unlike the believers, for their hospitality is the Gardens of Paradise.

⁽¹⁰⁷⁾ Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - they will have the Gardens of Paradise as a lodging, ⁽¹⁰⁸⁾ Wherein they abide eternally. They will not desire from it any transfer.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ نُزُلاً * خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا لا يَبْغُونَ عَنْهَا حِوَلاً

[Al-Kahf: 107-108] .
