Allah says,
[وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيهَا
كَأْساً كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِيلاً ]
(And they will be given to drink there of a cup mixed with Zanjabil
(ginger),) meaning, they -- the righteous -- will also be given a drink from
these cups.
[كَأْساً]
(a cup) meaning, a drink of wine.
[كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا
زَنجَبِيلاً]
(mixed with Zanjabil (ginger),) So on one occasion they will be given a drink
that is mixed with camphor, and it is cool. Then on another occasion they will
be given a drink mixed with ginger, and it is hot. This is so that their affair
will be balanced. However, those who are nearest to Allah, they will drink from
all of it however they wish, as Qatadah and others have said. The statement of
Allah has already preceded which says,
[عَيْناً يَشْرَبُ
بِهَا عِبَادُ اللَّهِ]
(A spring wherefrom the servants of Allah will drink.) (76:6) And here Allah
says,
[عَيْناً فِيهَا
تُسَمَّى سَلْسَبِيلاً ]
(A spring there, called Salsabil.) `Ikrimah said, "It (Salsabil) is the name
of a spring in Paradise.'' Mujahid said, "It is called this due to its
continuous flowing and the severity of its current.''
