Ibn Abbas Commentary
(A similitude of the Garden) the description of Paradise (which those who keep their duty (to Allah)) which those who ward off disbelief, idolatry and indecencies (are promised: Therein are rivers of water unpolluted) unpolluted in taste or smell, (and rivers of milk whereof the flavour changeth not) into a sour taste and pollen has not cause the offensive smell of its fat to spread, (and rivers of wine delicious to the drinkers) and this wine was not pressed with people's feet, (and rivers of clear run honey) without wax, yet it has not come from the bellies of bees; (therein for them) for the dwellers of Paradise (is every kind of fruit, with pardon from their Lord) of the sins which they committed in the life of the world. ((Are those who enjoy all this) like those who are immortal in the Fire) never to die therein nor leave; in reference here to Abu Jahl (and are given boiling water to drink so that it teareth their bowels?
