They will enter into Fire, Hamiyah. ) So that is what has made me cry.

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 Dari`, ) "This is of the worst, most disgusting and loathsome of foods." Concerning Allah's statement, لاَّ يُسْمِنُ وَلاَ يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍ ( Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. ) This means that the intent in eating it will not be achieved, and nothing harmful will be repelled by it.

(88:6) They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns *3

For them there will be no food meaning

*3) At some places in the Qur'an it has been stated that the dwellers of Hell will be given zaqqum to eat; at another place it has been said that they will have no other food but glhislin ( washing from wounds ), and here that " their only food will he thorny, dry grass. " There is, in fact, no contradiction between these statements.
This may as welt mean that Hell will have many different compartment in which different categories of the criminals will be lodged according to their crimes, and subjected to different punishments.
This may also mean that if they try to avoid zaqqum they will be given ghislin, and if they try to avoid even that, they will only get thorny grass.
In short, they would get nothing to suit their taste.
