﴿ أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌۭ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ﴾
“Is such [a paradise] the better welcome - or the [hellish] tree of deadly fruit?”
Is that which is mentioned to them a better hospitality nuzul denotes what is prepared for one who is being received as a guest and so forth or the Zaqqūm tree that is prepared for the inhabitants of the Fire — it is the vilest and most bitter tree of the Tihāma region which God causes to grow in the Fire as will be stated shortly.
