Allah said next,
﴿كُلَّمَا رُزِقُواْ مِنْهَا مِن ثَمَرَةٍ
رِّزْقاً قَالُواْ هَـذَا الَّذِى رُزِقْنَا مِن قَبْلُ﴾
(Every time they will be provided with a fruit therefrom, they will say: "This is
what we were provided with before'').
Ibn Abi Hatim reported that Yahya bin Abi Kathir said, "The grass of Paradise is
made of saffron, its hills from musk and the boys of everlasting youth will serve
the believers with fruits which they will eat. They will then be brought similar
fruits, and the people of Paradise will comment, `This is the same as what you have
just brought us.' The boys will say to them, `Eat, for the color is the same, but
the taste is different. Hence Allah's statement,
﴿وَأُتُواْ بِهِ مُتَشَـبِهاً﴾
(and they will be given things in resemblance). Abu Ja`far Ar-Razi narrated that
Ar-Rabi` bin Anas said that Abu Al-`Aliyah said that,
﴿وَأُتُواْ بِهِ مُتَشَـبِهاً﴾
(and they will be given things in resemblance) means, "They look like each other,
but the taste is different.'' Also, `Ikrimah said,
﴿وَأُتُواْ بِهِ مُتَشَـبِهاً﴾
(and they will be given things in resemblance) "They are similar to the fruits of
this life, but the fruits of Paradise taste better. '' Sufyan Ath-Thawri reported
from Al-A`mash, from Abu Thubyan, that Ibn `Abbas said, "Nothing in Paradise resembles
anything in the life of this world, except in name.'' In another narration, Ibn
`Abbas said, "Only the names are similar between what is in this life and what is
in Paradise.''
