No food will there be for them but from Dari`,
Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn Abbas that he said,
"A tree from the Hellfire."
Ibn Abbas, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Abu Al-Jawza' and Qatadah, all said,
"It is Ash-Shibriq (a type of plant)."
Qatadah said,
"The Quraysh called it Ash-Shabraq in the spring and Ad-Dari` in the summer."
Ikrimah said,
"It is a thorny tree which reaches down to the ground."
Al-Bukhari related that Mujahid said,
"Ad-Dari` is a plant that is called Ash-Shibriq. The people of the Hijaz call it Ad-Dari` when it dries, and it is poisonous."
Ma`mar narrated that Qatadah said,
لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلاَّ مِن ضَرِيعٍ
(No food will there be for them but from Dari`,)
"This is Ash-Shibriq. When it dries it is called Ad-Dari`."
Sa`id narrated from Qatadah that he said,
لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلاَّ مِن ضَرِيعٍ
(No food will there be for them but from Dari`),
"This is of the worst, most disgusting and loathsome of foods."
