We have indeed made it for that reason sc. its being a tree in the Fire a trial for the wrongdoers? namely for the disbelievers of Mecca for they said ‘Fire consumes trees so how can it make them grow forth?’
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Lo! We have appointed it) We mentioned it as (a torment) a trial (for wrong-doers) Abu Jahl and his host, for they said: the Zaqqum is nothing but dates and butter.
