It is also said to be a poisonous plant which no beast will approach, because of its harmful quality. 'Khalil', a philologist, says: /dhari'/ is a green plant with a bad smell which is cast out of the sea upon the beaches". 'Ibn-Abbas' has said that "it is a tree of fire, fit for Hell, that if it were in this world, it would burn the earth and all the things on it." But there is a narration from the Prophet (S) which says: “/dhari`/ is something in Hell.

It is like thorns, more bitter than aloes, more fetid than a putrid corpse, and more burning than fire. Allah has named the thing /dhari`/". [^3] Other people have also said that /dhari'/ is a hellish food, of which the condemned, in Hell, cry to Allah to get rid of it. The above commentaries relate to each other and all of them may be correct for defining the meaning of the word.

Then, again about the same food, it says: “Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger." It is certain that such a thing is a food that will neither give nourishment, to the body, nor in any way satisfy the burning pangs of hunger. It is a punishment for the unbelievers as Surah Muzzammil, No. 73, verse 13 says: “And a food that chokes and a Penalty Grievous”.

They prepared sweet and delicious foods of many varieties for themselves, in this world, through cruelty and the violation of people's rights: they forced the oppressed to use unedible, choking food. So, the oppressors should have a kind of food in Hell that is 'a Penalty Grievous' for them. As it has been mentioned several times, neither the blessings in Heaven nor the punishments in Hell can be thoroughly described for us; we prisoners of this world.
