At-Ta'am
according to philology refers to all that is eaten and taken
as nourishment. But it is said that it is used to wheat and
other such grains only. Lisanu ?l-Arab
says: "When the people of Hijaz use the word
at-ta'am without any restriction or association,
they mean wheat exclusively." He further says: "Al-Khalil has
said, ?In high Arab language at-ta'am is wheat in
particular." The same meaning has been given by Ibnu ?l-Athir
in an-Nihayah. It is for this reason
that in most of ahadith narrated from the Imams of Ahlu ?l Bayt (a.s.)
it has been declared that
at-ta'am in this verse means wheat and other
grains, although a few traditions give another meaning; and we shall
talk about it under "Traditions".
