And an overflowing cup. (Qur'an, 78:34)
The truly good will drink from a cup mixed with the coolness of
camphor, a spring from which Allah's servants will drink,making
it gush forth at will abundantly. (Qur'an, 76:5-6)
A cup from a flowing spring passing round among them, as white
as driven snow, delicious to those who drink, which has no
headache in it and does not leave them stupefied. (Qur'an, 37:45-
47)
Carrying goblets and decanters, and a cup from a flowing spring
–, it does not give them any headache nor does it leave them
stupefied. And any fruit they specify and any bird-meat they
desire. (Qur'an, 56:18-21)
An image of the Garden which is promised to those who guard
against evil: in it there are rivers of water which will never spoil
and rivers of milk whose taste will never change and rivers of
wine, delightful to all who drink it, and rivers of honey of
undiluted purity;in it they will have fruit of every kind and
forgiveness from their Lord. Is that like those who will be in the
Fire timelessly, for ever, with boiling water to drink which lacerates
their bowels? (Qur'an, 47:15)
Its shading branches will droop down over them, its ripe fruit
hanging ready to be picked. Vessels of silver and goblets of pure
crystal will be passed round among them, crystalline silver— they
have measured them very exactly. They will be given there a cup
to drink mixed with the warmth of ginger. (Qur'an, 76:14-17)
Gardens and grape vines. (Qur'an, 78:32)
In them are fruits and date-palms and pomegranates. (Qur'an,
55:68)
Amid thornless lote-trees and fruit-laden acacias. (Qur'an, 56:28-
29)
And fruits in abundance never failing, unrestricted. (Qur'an, 56:32-
33)
Sweet fruits and high honour. (Qur'an, 37:42)
