Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “... and fruit of whatever they choose, and the flesh of birds of whatever they desire, and houris with wide eyes, like hidden pearls. A reward for what they used to do. They hear therein no idle talk or sin...”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Allah the Mighty and Majestic said:
(19) No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated - (20) And fruit of what they select لا يصدعون عنها ولا ينزفون .وفاكهة مما يتخيرون
[Al-Waqi'ah 56:19-20]
Is the fruit of various kinds or just one kind? The evidence is that He said:
of whatever they choose مما يتخيرون
This implies that there are things in which there is a choice.
And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire. ولحم طير مما يشتهون
[Al-Waqi'ah 56:21]
I ask Allah the Exalted to make it our taste and your taste. Now, eating, drinking, reclining, and rest are finished. What remains? The wives remain. Therefore, the wives came:
(22) And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes, (23) The likenesses of pearls well-protected, وحور عين كأمثال اللؤلؤ المكنون
[Al-Waqi'ah 56:22-23]
Houris is the plural of huriyyah, and 'ayn is the plural of 'aynawwa, meaning those with beautiful, beautiful, beautiful eyes. She is a huriyyah whose face is white but tinged with redness, so she is a huriyyah, and her eyes are the most beautiful of eyes. Therefore, He said:
The likenesses of pearls well-protected, كأمثال اللؤلؤ المكنون
[Al-Waqi'ah 56:23]
Pearls are well known, and al-maknoon is that which is in its shell and has not been opened. This is among the most beautiful sights.
(24) As reward for what they used to do. (25) They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin - جزاء بما كانوا يعملون لا يسمعون فيها لغوا ولا تأثيما
[Al-Waqi'ah 56:24-25]
Allahu Akbar. Look, no idle talk and no sin. What do they hear? They hear good speech.
Only a saying: "Peace, peace." إلا قيلا سلاما سلاما
[Al-Waqi'ah 56:26]
In this world, our speech is either idle talk, sin, or good. Sin is forbidden, prohibited speech. Prohibited speech is sin. Idle talk is the chit-chat that occurs between people which has no meanings, no goals, and nothing.
And the third: the good. In Paradise, there is no foul speech or filth; it is only good, good speech.
peace and peace سلاما سلاما
The discussion regarding the predecessors, who are the nearest, is finished. O Allah, we ask You by Your beautiful names and Your exalted attributes, O Lord of the worlds, to make us among them. O Allah, make us among them. O Allah, make us among them.
As for the others, the companions of the right and the companions of the left, I think the time has... Yes, it has ended. So let us return now to the questions. Yes, who reads the questions? Who reads the questions? Fine, you. I am afraid you will lead us astray. Do you know the conditions? No, the conditions for reading mean that not everyone is allowed to read. It must be... what? Grammatically correct and with good delivery. He should not read from the questions except what is in the interest. Is he committed to this?

The questioner : Ready.

The Shaykh : Fine, go ahead, give it to him.
The student: ...
