Meaning: There is nothing in Paradise from what is in this world except the names.
Pomegranates does not mean that the pomegranates of Paradise are like our pomegranates, but its name is pomegranates, and the reality differs, because Allah said:[As-Sajdah 32:17], and He the Exalted said in the Qudsi Hadith: Sahih al-Bukhari 7498.
If what is there were like what is here, we would know what is in it of the delight of the eyes. For this reason, he said:, as he (may Allah be pleased with him) said.
He says: "Meaning the realities do not resemble these *** and both are agreed upon in name". In one copy: "united," and the meaning is the same.
