Surah 88. Al-Gashiya, Ayah 6
| لَيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ ضَرِيعٍ |
| Asad | : | No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, |
| Malik | : | They shall have no food except bitter thorny fruit, |
| Pickthall | : | No food for them save bitter thorn fruit |
| Yusuf Ali | : | No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari 6099 |
| Transliteration | : | Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin |
Note - 6099The root-meaning implies again the idea of humiliation.
It is a plant, bitter and thorny, loathsome in smell and
appearance, which will neither give fattening nourishment
to the body nor in any way satisfy the burning pangs of
hunger,-a fit plant for Hell, like Zaqqum (lvi. 52; or
xvii. 60, n. 2250).
