عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ أَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا يَطُوفُونَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ جَالِسٌ مَعَهُ مِحْجَنٌ فَقَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”{يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ} لَوْ أَنَّ قَطْرَةً مِنَ الزَّقُّومِ قُطِرَتْ لَأَمَرَّتْ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ عَيْشَهُمْ كَيْفَ مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا الزَّقُّومُ“
It is narrated from Mujahid that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting with a curved staff in his hand, while people were performing Tawaf of the House of Allah. He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: {یٰـــٓـــاَیُّھَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰہَ حَقَّ تُقٰتِہٖ وَلَا تَمُوْتُنَّ اِلَّا وَاَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ} (O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him].) (Surah Aal-e-Imran: 102) And if a single drop of the Zaqqoom of Hell were to fall upon the earth, it would make the lives of all the inhabitants of the earth bitter. (Just think,) what will be the condition of those whose food itself will be Zaqqoom.
