The reciter: In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy.
"A chapter on the construction of Paradise:
Its bricks are of gold *** and another type of silver, two distinct kinds
And its palaces are of pearl and carnelian *** or silver or pure agate
And likewise of pearl and ruby, with which *** the construction is arranged with utmost precision
And the clay is pure musk or saffron *** for this, two acceptable reports exist
They are not contradictory, so do not deny them *** for they are the mortar for that construction".
