وَمَثَلُ كَلِمَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ كَشَجَرَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ ٱجْتُثَّتْ مِن فَوْقِ ٱلْأَرْضِ مَا لَهَا مِن قَرَارٍ
یعنی اس کو طبعی غذا ملنی بند ہو گئی ہو اور وہ سوکھ رہا ہو۔
Unlike the good tree a book which is forged by a fabricator is like an evil tree. It does not possess permanence or stability. Its teachings are supported neither by reason nor by the laws of nature. It cannot stand criticism and its principles and ideals keep on changing with the change in human conditions and circumstances. It is a hotchpotch of teachings collected from doubtful sources. It fails to produce men who can claim to have established true and real connection with God. It does not receive fresh life from the Divine Source and is subject to decay and degeneration.
Important Words:
اجتثت (uprooted) is derived from جث. They say جثه i.e. he pulled it (i.e. a plant) out from its very root; he uprooted it; اجتثهalso gives the same meaning. الجثة means, the body or the dead body of a human being (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
Unlike the good tree described in the preceding two verses, a book which is forged by the hand of man is like an evil tree. It possesses no permanence, nor even stability. Its teachings are supported neither by reason nor by the laws of nature. It cannot stand criticism and its principles and ideals keep on changing with the change in human conditions and circumstances. It is a hotchpotch of teachings collected from doubtful sources. It fails to produce men who can claim to have established a true and real connection with God. It receives fresh life from no divine source and is subject to decay and degeneration. Such is the inevitable fate of books forged by pretenders and false prophets. For a detailed and beautiful exposition of v. 25, 26 and 27 the reader is referred to "Tafsir-e-Kabir" by Hadrat Khalifatul Masih II, Second Successor of the Promised Messiah.

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ
44:44; 56:53.
Zaqqum denotes the tree of disbelief. The Qur’an has compared true belief to a good tree which brings forth its fruit at all times (14:25, 26) and disbelief to an evil tree—Zaqqum (14:27). Taking it in the sense of deadly food, the verse would mean that eating of the fruit of the accursed tree of disbelief brings about spiritual death.
44:44; 56:53.
Important Words:
زقوم (Zaqqum) is derived from زقم. They say زقمه i.e. he swallowed it and devoured it. زقم اللبن means, he drank much milk. زقوم is a dust-coloured tree which has a pungent odour and is bitter and has stinking leaves. The word also means, any deadly food; the food of the people of Hell (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
Zaqqum in the verse under comment denotes the tree of disbelief. The Quran has compared true belief to a good tree which brings forth its fruit at all times (14:25-26) and disbelief to an evil tree—Zaqqum. Taking it in the sense of deadly food, the verse would mean that the fruit of the accursed tree of disbelief is deadly and its eating brings about spiritual death.

زَقُّوْم (Zaqqum) 意指不信的树。«古兰经» 把真实的信仰比作永远结着果实的一棵好树 (14:25-26), 而把不信比作一棵坏树 (14:27)。如果把这个单词的意义理解为致命的食物, 那么, 这节经文将意味着, 吃了这棵被诅咒的不信的树的果子就会使精神死亡。

Commentary:
The verse purports to say that disbelievers indulged in all sorts of iniquitous activities; they, as it were, drained life to the dregs. Therefore, as a punishment, their bellies will be filled with fire and they will drink of the hot water which instead of quenching will increase their thirst.
