Commentary on Tafsir al-Jalalayn: (( White )) whiter than milk (( Delight )) delightful (( For the drinkers )) unlike the wine of this world, which is loathsome

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:
White بيضاء
"whiter than milk". The author stated that it is "whiter than milk", but in reality, the verse does not indicate that it is whiter than milk. The phrase "whiter than milk" was used in the description of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) pool, which will be in the plain of Resurrection. It was reported in its description that it is
whiter than milk and sweeter than honey أشد بياضا من اللبن وأحلى من العسل وأطيب من رائحة المسك
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2542Sahih (Darussalam)
As for the wine in Paradise, Allah described it only as white, saying:
White, a delight بيضاء لذة
delightful. Here, the noun "delight" (lathah) is used instead of the active or passive participle, because describing something with the noun is more eloquent than describing it with a derivative of that noun. If you say "so-and-so is justice," it is more eloquent than saying "so-and-so is just," as if you are making him justice itself. Here, the cup is described as "delight," meaning it is delight itself, not just a thing characterized by delight. Thus, expressing the attribute as the noun is more eloquent than expressing it as a derivative, because it expresses the origin from which the derivative branches. Here, the noun is...
A delight for the drinkers لذة للشاربين
This is a form of emphasis, meaning that while they drink it, they take pleasure in it, unlike the wine of this world, which is described as loathsome when drunk. As for the wine of the Hereafter, it is
A delight for the drinkers لذة للشاربين
It is also free from bad effects, as He said:
No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated. لا فيها غول ولا هم عنها ينزفون
[As-Saffat 37:47]
