Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Verse range: 37:66
Truly, they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith. Allah mentions that they will eat of this extremely ugly tree even though its fruit tastes and smells so bad; they will be forced to eat from it because they will not find anything else to eat except this tree and similar things, as Allah says:
ليس لهم طعام إﻻ من ضريع
ﻻ يسمن وﻻ يغنى من جوع
No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. (88:6-7)
ثم إن لهم عليها لشوبا من حميم
