The Holy Quran 88:6 — Surah Al-Ghashiyah

لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ

Translation

The only food for them (the people of Jahannam) shall be thorny trees...

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

When the inmates of Hell cry out from the torment of hunger, this is what will be given to them to eat.
