Surah Assaaffat ayat 63 Tafsir Quran 37:63

﴿إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاهَا فِتْنَةً لِّلظَّالِمِينَ﴾
[ الصافات: 63]

37:63 Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers.

We have indeed made it for that reason sc. its being a tree in the Fire a trial for the wrongdoers? namely for the disbelievers of Mecca for they said ‘Fire consumes trees so how can it make them grow forth?’

The tree We caused to grow especially for the trial in sharp tribulation and misery of the wrongful of actions

(37:63) We have made this tree a trial for the wrong-doers. *35

Indeed, We have made it a torment meaning

*35) That is, " On hearing this the disbelievers get a new opportunity to taunt the Qur'an and mock the Holy Prophet.
They ridicule it saying, `Listen another strange thing: a tree will grow in the blazing fire of Hell'! "
 

( Lo! We have appointed it ) We mentioned it as ( a torment ) a trial ( for wrong-doers ) Abu Jahl and his host, for they said: the Zaqqum is nothing but dates and butter.

Truly We have made it (as) a trail for the Zalimun (polytheists, disbelievers, wrong-doers, etc.).
