Reading from the poet’s words: A chapter on the food of the people of Paradise… to the end.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "A chapter on the food of the people of Paradise
And their food is what their souls desire *** And the tender, plump flesh of birds
And various fruits according to their desires *** O fullness that is complete for the person of faith
Meat and wine and women and fruits *** And perfume with spirit and with sweet-smelling plants
And their trays are gold, circulating among them *** In the hands of servants from among the young men
And look at how the pleasure for the eyes *** And the desire for the soul are mentioned in the Qur'an"
The student: For Satan.
The Shaykh : How is it for Satan?! … Is the desire of the soul for Satan?! No, no, in the Qur'an, it is a mistake. Is this commentary by Ibn 'Isa? Ibn 'Isa, this is a mistake, it appears to be a printing error.
The reader: "For the eye, there is pleasure from it that calls *** To its desires by the soul and the two matters
The cause of taking it, and it necessitates *** Another pleasure besides what the two eyes have obtained".
The Shaykh : Allah is the Greatest!
