سَأَلَهُ الْأَبْرَشُ الْكَلْبِيُّ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ الْأَرْضُ غَيْرَ الْأَرْضِ قَالَ تُبَدَّلُ خُبْزَةً نَقِيَّةً يَأْكُلُ النَّاسُ مِنْهَا حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنَ الْحِسَابِ قَالَ الْأَبْرَشُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَفِي شُغُلٍ عَنِ الْأَكْلِ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) هُمْ فِي النَّارِ لَا يَشْتَغِلُونَ عَنْ أَكْلِ الضَّرِيعِ وَ شُرْبِ الْحَمِيمِ وَ هُمْ فِي الْعَذَابِ فَكَيْفَ يَشْتَغِلُونَ عَنْهُ فِي الْحِسَابِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Suleyman Bin Ja’far, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘Al-Abrash al-Kalby asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:14#h48"><a href="/books/quran:14#h48">[14:48]</a></a> The Day when the earth shall be Changed into a different earth</span>. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It would be turned into pure bread. The people would eat from it until they are free from the Reckoning’. Al-Abrash said, ‘I said, ‘The people on that Day would be too pre-occupied from the eating’. So Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘They would be in the Fire, not being too pre-occupied from eating the thorny bushes and drinking the scalding water, and they would be in the Punishment, so how would they be too pre-occupied from it during the Reckoning?’.
