اختير في القرآن لفظ الذوق للعذاب لأن ذلك وإن كان في التعارف للقليل، فهو مستصلح للكثير، فخصه بالذكر ليعلم الأمرين

The word 'dhawq' was chosen in the Quran for punishment because although it is commonly understood for a little, it is suitable for a lot, so it was specified to indicate both aspects.

ويعبر به عن الاختبار، يقال: أذقته كذا فذاق

And it is used to mean testing; it is said: I made him taste X, so he tasted it.

فأذاقها الله لباس الجوع والخوف، فاستعمال الذوق مع اللباس من أجل أنه أريد به التجربة والاختبار

So Allah made them taste the garment of hunger and fear; the use of 'dhawq' with 'garment' is because it is intended for trial and testing.

ولئن أذقنا الإنسان منا رحمة. استعمل في الرحمة الإذاقة، وفي مقابلتها الإصابة في قوله تعالى: وإن تصبهم سيئة.

And if We let the human taste mercy from Us. 'Idhāqah' is used for mercy, and its opposite, 'tuṣibhum', is used for affliction in His saying: 'And if an evil befalls them'.

الذوق: مباشرة الحاسة الظاهرة، أو الباطنة، ولا يختص ذلك بحاسة الفم في لغة القرآن، ولا في لغة العرب

قال تعالى: وذوقوا عذاب الحريق

Allah Almighty says: 'And taste the punishment of the Fire'.

وقال تعالى: هذا فليذوقوه حميم وغساق.

And He says: 'This! Let them taste boiling water and cold fluid'.

فتأمل كيف جمع) الذوق واللباس حتى يدل على مباشرة الذوق وإحاطته وشموله

So ponder how 'dhawq' and 'garment' are combined to indicate the directness, encompassingness, and comprehensiveness of the tasting.

فأفاد الإخبار عن إذاقته أنه واقع مباشر غير منتظر، فإن الخوف قد يتوقع ولا يباشر، وأفاد الإخبار عن لباسه أنه محيط شامل كاللباس للبدن

So the report of 'idhaqatihi' implies that it is an immediate and unexpected occurrence, for fear can be anticipated but not directly experienced, while the report of its 'garment' implies it is all-encompassing like clothing for the body.

وفي الحديث: ذاق طعم الإيمان من رضي بالله ربا، وبالإسلام دينا وبمحمد رسولا

So it informed that faith has a taste, and that the heart tastes it, just as the mouth tastes the flavor of food and drink.

وقد عبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن إدراك حقيقة الإيمان والإحسان وحصوله للقلب ومباشرته له بالذوق تارة، وبالطعام والشراب تارة، وبوجدان الحلاوة تارة

And the Prophet, peace be upon him, expressed the realization of the truth of faith and good-doing, its attainment by the heart, and its direct experience, sometimes through 'dhawq', sometimes through food and drink, and sometimes through finding sweetness.
