The Difference Between Allah’s Saying: “And for those who fear the standing before their Lord are two gardens” and His Saying: “And beneath them are two gardens”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :
The sun and the moon [move] by precise calculation, الشمس والقمر بحسبان
[Ar-Rahman 55:5]
up to the end of what Allah mentioned in this surah. And at the end He said:
But for he who has feared the position of his Lord are two gardens - ولمن خاف مقام ربه جنتان
[Ar-Rahman 55:46]
He mentioned the two gardens, then He mentioned two other gardens. The scholars differed on which is better: the first two gardens or the latter two? The correct view is that the first two gardens are better. If you reflect on it, you will find
In both of them are of every fruit, two kinds. فيهما من كل فاكهة زوجان
[Ar-Rahman 55:52]
and in the latter two
In both of them are fruit and palm trees and pomegranates. فيهما فاكهة ونخل ورمان
[Ar-Rahman 55:68]
Which is more comprehensive? The first.
In both of them are two springs, flowing. فيهما عينان تجريان
[Ar-Rahman 55:50]
And there is
In both of them are two springs, spouting. فيهما عينان نضاختان
[Ar-Rahman 55:66]
and gushing is less than flowing.
In them are women limiting [their] glances فيهن قاصرات الطرف
[Ar-Rahman 55:56]
And there He said:
Fair ones reserved in pavilions - حور مقصورات في الخيام
[Ar-Rahman 55:72]
And He distinguished between those with downcast eyes and those confined in the tents. “Those with downcast eyes” means that their husbands do not look at anyone else; their husband’s gaze is restricted from others because she has filled his heart with joy and filled his sight with looking at her. As for there, they are confined in the tents. And with this, we say that the houris mentioned in the first two and the latter two are their descriptions for all of them. For this reason, you will find
In both of them are two springs, flowing. فيهما عينان تجريان
[Ar-Rahman 55:50]
In both of them are two springs, spouting. فيهما عينان نضاختان
[Ar-Rahman 55:66]
In both of them are of every fruit, two kinds. فيهما من كل فاكهة زوجان
[Ar-Rahman 55:52]
In both of them are fruit and palm trees and pomegranates. فيهما فاكهة ونخل ورمان
[Ar-Rahman 55:68]
all in the dual form: “in them, in them.” But when He spoke about the houris, He said:
In them فيهن
so He used the plural. It is derived from this, and Allah knows best, that these descriptions are the descriptions of the houris of the eyes, and they are established in both of the gardens.
