Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (No human before them has touched them, nor any jinn)

Allah the Exalted said:
untouched before them by man or jinni -لَمْ يَطْمِثْهُنَّ إِنْسٌ قَبْلَهُمْ وَلا جَانٌّ
[Ar-Rahman: 74] Meaning: No one has had sexual intercourse with them; rather, they remain in their virginity until their husbands cover them when they enter Paradise. May Allah make us and you among them. (No human has touched them, nor any jinn) Meaning: nor any jinn. This indicates that the jinn enter Paradise with the humans, and that is the case; for Allah does not wrong anyone. Among the jinn are the righteous and those less so; among them are Muslims and disbelievers, exactly like the humans. Just as among the humans are the obedient and the disobedient, so among them are the disbeliever and the believer. Likewise, the Muslim jinn is one who does good, indicates good, and assists the righteous among the humans. The open sinner or disbeliever jinn is like the open sinner or disbeliever among the children of Adam, exactly the same. Their disbeliever enters the Fire by the consensus of the Muslims,As in the Qur'an:
[Allah] will say, "Enter among nations which had passed on before you of jinn and mankind into the Fire."قَالَ ادْخُلُوا فِي أُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْأِنْسِ فِي النَّارِ
[Al-A'raf: 38] And this is the text of the Qur'an, and the scholars have agreed that the disbeliever among the jinn enters the Fire, and the believer among the jinn enters Paradise. For this reason, in Surat Ar-Rahman, (So which of the favors of your Lord will you both deny?) means: the jinn and the humans.
untouched before them by man or jinni -لَمْ يَطْمِثْهُنَّ إِنْسٌ قَبْلَهُمْ وَلا جَانٌّ
[Ar-Rahman: 74] indicates that the jinn enter Paradise, and that is the case.
untouched before them by man or jinni - (57) So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny? -لَمْ يَطْمِثْهُنَّ إِنْسٌ قَبْلَهُمْ وَلا جَانٌّ * فَبِأَيِّ آلاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
[Ar-Rahman: 74-75] .
