مُتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّصْفُوفَةٍ ۖ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ
18:32; 55:55; 76:14.
44:55; 56:23.
زَوَّجَ شَيْئًا بِشَئٍ (Zawwaja shai’an bi Shai’in) 的意思是, 他为一个东西与另一个东西配对成双; 他使之结合以成为同伴或类似者。حُوْر (Hur) 是 اَحْوَر (Ahwar--------阳性) 和 حَوْرَاء (Haura’--------阴性) 的复数, 意思是眼睛中露出所谓 حَوَار (Hawar) 这种品质的特点的人, 即极其白的眼白和极其黑的眼黑, 以及人体其余部分极其白和极其美。اَحْوَر (Ahwar) 的另一意思是纯洁或清醒的理智。
عِيْن (‘In) اَعْيَن (A‘yan) 和 عَيْنَاء (‘Aina’) 的复数, 意思分别是: 长着大大的黑色大眼睛的男女, 后者的意思也是一句好话或美言 (Lane, مُفْرَدَات--------Mufradat & تَاج --------Taj)。因此 حُوْر (Hur) 和 عِيْن (‘In) 这两词意味着人格和品德的美和纯洁。
死后的生命只是今世的形象和显现, 后世的赏罚只是今世作为的许多体现和形象。天园和火狱不是来自外面新的物质世界。不错, 这两者应是看得见、摸得着的, 你要说这些是物质的也可以, 但它们只是今世的精神事实的体现。今世的牵挂在后世可以清楚见到是枷锁。今世的灼痛的心同样会清楚地被视为熊熊的火焰, 信仰者对其养主和创造主所怀的爱将体现为将来生命中的美酒, 如此等等。因此在天园中将有花园、溪流、乳汁、蜂蜜、禽鸟的肉、酒、水果、宝座、伙伴和很多其他 的东西; 但这些都不是今世的事物, 只是今世人生的精神事实的体现。上面所解释的 زَوَّجْنَا (Zawwajna), حُوْر (Hur) 和 عِيْن (‘In) 这些词说明, 安拉的真正的仆人将奉命跟纯洁而清净的伙伴们生活在一起, 伙伴们的脸上将焕发着精神美的光辉; 或者, 他们将有佳人即他们的妻子相伴。
要理解并认识后世的赏罚的性质, 我们应记住, 后世是今世生命的延续。人的灵魂一旦离开了这具躯壳, 就会得到一副新的躯体, 因为灵魂没躯体就不能有进步, 不能享受幸福, 不能感受痛苦。新躯体精美雅致得就像今世的灵魂一样。因为新躯体的形状和性质难以理解, 和现在的肉体不同, 所以后世的赏罚的性质也不为我们所知。因此 «古兰经» 上就有这样的做法: “实际上, 任何人都不知道, 因为信仰者往常的善举, 有什么悦目的东西为他们储藏起来的” (32:18)。据记载, 穆圣曾说过, 谁的眼睛都没有见到过天园中的福祉, 谁的耳朵也没有听到过天园中的福祉, 谁的心也不能想象天园中的福祉 (بُخَارِی, Bukhari)。事实上, 天园中不会有罪恶, 没有轻浮或无聊的闲扯, 没有我们所理解的那种肉体上的快乐, 而是有充满的和平和安拉的喜悦 (56:26-27), 这一事实清楚地显示了 «古兰经» 上所构思和许给敬畏人们的天园。另见注释1018。

Zawwaja Shai’an bi Shai’in means, he paired or coupled a thing with a thing; he united it as its fellow or like. Hur is the plural of Ahwar (masc.) and Haura’ (fem.) and means, a person whose eyes are characterized by the quality termed Hawarun, i.e. intense whiteness of the white of the eye and intense blackness of the black thereof, with intense whiteness or fairness of the rest of the person. Ahwar also means, pure or clear intellect.
‘In is the plural of both A‘yan and ‘Aina’ which respectively mean, man and woman having black wide large eyes, the latter word also meaning, a good or beautiful saying or word (Lane, Mufradat & Taj). Thus the two words Hur and ‘In signify beauty and purity of person and character.
Life after death is only an image and manifestation of the present life, and the rewards and punishments of the next world would be only so many embodiments and images of the actions done in this life. Heaven and Hell are no new material worlds which come from outside. It is true that they shall be visible and palpable, call them material if you please, but they are only embodiments of the spiritual facts of this life. The entanglements of this world shall be seen as fetters on the feet in the next. The heart-burning of this world shall likewise be clearly seen as flames of burning fire, and the love, which a believer feels for his Lord and Creator, will appear embodied as w

Commentary:
Description of the rewards and punishments of Heaven and Hell as given in some Quranic Surahs, particularly in Ar-Rahman, Al-Waqi‘ah and in the present Surah call for an explanatory note. The following points may be borne in mind for an appreciation of life after death:
1. According to the Quran, God’s handiwork as manifested in the creation of the universe, and in that of man placed at its centre, shows that man’s life on earth has a purpose higher and nobler and beyond mere eating and drinking or leading a more or less circumscribed existence (23:115-116).
2. There is a life after death and that life is the continuation of the life which man leads in this world. One’s heaven or hell begins from this very world; death only opening up vast and unknown vistas of ever-expanding spiritual progress.
3. As soon as the human soul leaves this tabernacle of clay, it is given a new body, because the soul can make no progress or enjoy no bliss or feel no pain without a body. Its development and progress depend upon its permanent connection with a body. The new body is as fine and delicate as the soul was in this world. In fact, it is the very soul in a new transformation which after having passed through certain experiences develops a new soul which possesses far higher and finer and more delicate faculties and perception than the soul from which it emanates. To this new soul the old soul serves as a body and man is able to perceive things through his new senses which he could perceive formerly only through the soul, and is able to partake of the pains and pleasures of the next world—the present body of clay being quite unfit for the new experience. That is why the Quran says, "And no soul knows what joy of the eyes is kept hidden for them, as a reward for their good works" (32:18). And the Holy Prophet explained this Quranic verse in a well-known saying. viz. "No eye has seen the blessings of Paradise, nor has any ear heard of them nor can human mind conceive of them" (Bukhari, Kitab bad’ul-khalq).
4. Life after death is only an image and manifestation of the present life and the rewards and punishments of the next world would be only embodiments and images of the actions done in this life. Heaven and Hell are not new material worlds which come from outside. It is true that they shall be visible and palpable, call them material, if you please, but they are only embodiments of the spiritual facts of this life. The spiritual torture of this world has been represented in the Quran as a physical punishment in the next. The chains to be put round the necks of disbelievers, for instance, represent the desires of this world which keep a man’s head bent upon the earth, and it is these desires that shall assume the shape of chains. Similarly, the entanglements of this world shall be seen as fetters on the feet in the next. The heart-burning of this world shall likewise be clearly seen as flames of burning fire, and the love which a believer feels for his Lord and Creator will appear embodied as wine in the life to come, etc. Thus there will be gardens, streams, milk, honey, flesh of birds, wine, fruits, thrones, companions and many other things in Paradise; but they will not be the things of this world but the embodiments of spiritual facts of the life of this world.
5. There will be no sin, levity, or vain talk in Paradise, no pleasures of the flesh as we understand them, but all-pervading peace and pleasure of God (56:26-27). In view of this Quranic conception of Paradise, it is the height of ignorance or blind prejudice to suggest that the Quran promises a sensuous Paradise to its followers.
Moreover, the words زوجنا and عین and as explained under Important Words above, present no difficulty and, in view of these explanations, the verse may mean that in Paradise the righteous servants of God will be made to live with pure and clean companions whose faces will be shining with radiant spiritual beauty; or they will have as companions fair maidens, i.e. their wives.
Besides, the promise, made to the righteous in this ands the following verses, was literally fulfilled when the Muslims conquered vast territories of the Byzantine and Iranian Empires, and all these things fell into their hands and thus the promise constituted an incontrovertible testimony to the fact that the promise about the next life is also true.
