It is these who shall have “triumph.” Triumph may refer both to the place where triumph is attained and to the time when it is attained. Thus, they shall enjoy triumph in their abodes and throughout their days.
“Gardens and grapevines”: this describes the nature of that triumph. “Gardens” is the plural of “garden,” meaning orchards whose trees are immense, abundant, and varied. “And grapevines”: grapevines are among the plants found in these gardens, but Allah mentions them specifically because of their excellence.
“And full-bosomed maidens of equal age”: “full-bosomed” refers to a woman whose breasts have developed but do not sag; rather, they are firm and prominent, like the ankle bone. This is the perfection of beauty in the bosom. “Of equal age” means that they are all the same age, with none older than another, as is the case among the women of this world. Were they to differ in age, the harmony among them might be disturbed, and one might feel saddened at not being the equal of another. But they are all of equal age.
“And a cup filled to overflowing,” meaning a full cup. The cup intended here is a cup of wine, though it may perhaps contain wine or something else, for Paradise contains “rivers of unspoiled water, rivers of milk whose taste never changes, rivers of wine delightful to those who drink, and rivers of purified honey” [Muhammad: 15]. It is more likely, however, that only wine is meant.
His words, “There they will hear no idle talk,” mean that in Paradise they will hear no vain speech—no false and worthless talk.
“Nor lies,” meaning that they will hear no lying: they will neither lie nor accuse one another of lying, for they will be seated upon couches facing one another. Allah will have removed all rancor from their hearts and made them brothers.
“A recompense from your Lord, a gift”: that is, they will be rewarded with this recompense from Allah—Mighty and Majestic—for the righteous deeds they performed in this world, by which they guarded themselves against what Allah had forbidden.
“In sufficient measure,” meaning that it will suffice. The word is derived from sufficiency. In other words, this cup will be entirely sufficient, leaving them in no need of another because of its perfect delight and complete benefit.
