قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ} [آل عمران: 102]

“O you who believe! Have fear of Allah as is His due, and die not except as Muslims. [3:102] (Then he said): ‘If a drop of Zaqqum were to be dropped on the earth, it would ruin the livelihood of the people of this world, so how about those who have no food other than it (i.e. Zaqqum)?’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4325)   

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٠٠٤أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ} [آل عمران 102] لَوْ أَنَّ قَطْرَةً مِنَ الزَّقُّومِ قُطِرَتْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ لَأَمَرَّتْ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ مَعِيشَتَهُمْ فَكَيْفَ مَنْ هُوَ طَعَامُهُ أَوْ لَيْسَ لَهُ طَعَامٌ غَيْرُهُ

Have the Taqwa of Allah as His due, and do not die except as Muslims. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If only a drop of Az-Zaqqum were to drip into the abode of the world, it would spoil the peoples' livelihood, so how about the person for whom it is his food?"  

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ḥasan-Ṣaḥīḥ.

[Machine] "People used to perform the tawaf around the house, and Ibn Abbas was sitting with them, holding a container. He said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him]." (Quran 3:102) If only a drop of Zaqqum (a tree of Hell) was to fall on the inhabitants of the earth, it would ruin their livelihood. So, how will it be for those who have nothing to eat except Zaqqum?'"
