I said, "O Allah's Prophet! We are living in a land ruled by the people of the Scripture; Can we take our meals in their
utensils? In that land there is plenty of game and I hunt the game with my bow and with my hound that is not trained and with
my trained hound. Then what is lawful for me to eat?" He said, "As for what you have mentioned about the people of the
Scripture, if you can get utensils other than theirs, do not eat out of theirs, but if you cannot get other than theirs, wash their
utensils and eat out of it. If you hunt an animal with your bow after mentioning Allah's Name, eat of it. and if you hunt
something with your trained hound after mentioning Allah's Name, eat of it, and if you hunt something with your untrained
hound (and get it before it dies) and slaughter it, eat of it."
HUR:
3:15 - companions pure (and holy)
4:57 - therein shall they have companions pure and holy:
37:48 - And beside them will be chaste women; restraining their glances with big eyes (of wonder
and beauty). 4064
4064 In the emblem used here, again, the pure type of chaste womanhood is figured. They are chaste, not bold with their
glances: but their eyes are big with wonder and beauty, prefiguring grace, innocence, and a refined capacity of
appreciation and admiration. (37.48)
37:49 - As if they were (delicate) eggs closely guarded. 4065
4065 This is usually understood to refer to the delicate complexion of a beautiful woman, which is compared to the
transparent shell of eggs in the nest, closely guarded by the mother-bird; the shell is warm and free from stain. In Iv.
58 the phrase used is "like rubies and coral", referring to the red or pink of a beautiful complexion. (37.49)
38:52 - And beside them will be chaste women restraining their glances (companions) of equal age.
42094210
4209 Cf. xxxvii. 48 and n. 4064, and xxxvi. 56, n. 4002. As we conceive happiness in this life, it is not complete if it is only
solitary. How we hanker after some one who can share in our highest joy! That feeling is also figured here. (38.52)
4210 To make the social happiness complete, we want companionship of equal age. Age and youth cannot be happy
together. It is not suggested that in the Timeless state figured here, there will be old age; but if it is possible to
conceive of temperamental differences then, the company will be so arranged that it will be congenial. Or we can
accept the type of youth and freshness as common to all in that happy state. (38.52)
44:54 - So; and We shall Join them to Companions with beautiful big and lustrous eyes. 47284729
4728 The Maidens, like the scene, the dress, the outlook, and the fruit, will be beautiful. There will be life, but free from all
earthly grossness. The women as well as the men of this life will attain to this indescribable bliss. (44.54)
4729 Hur implies the following ideas: (1) purity, (2) beauty, especially of eyes, where the intense white of the eye-balls
stands out against the intense black of the pupil, thus giving the appearance of lustre, and intense feeling, as opposed
to dullness or want of expression; and (3) truth and goodwill. (44.54)
52:20 - They will recline (with ease) on Thrones (of dignity) arranged in ranks; and We shall join
them to Companions with beautiful big and lustrous eyes. 50525053
5052 Every one will have a couch of dignity, but it does not follow that the dignity will be the same. Every one's Personality
will be purified but it will not be merged into one general sameness. (52.20)
5053 Cf. xliv. 54, and notes 4728 and 4729, where the meaning of Hur is fully explained. This is the special sharing of
individual Bliss one with another. The next verse refers to the general social satisfaction shared with all whom we
loved in this earthly life. (52.20)
55:56 - In them will be (Maidens) Chaste restraining their glances whom no man or Jinn before
them has touched 52095210
5209 See notes 4728-29 to xliv. 54. (55.56)
5210 Cf. xxxvii. 48 and n. 4064. Their purity is the feature hereby chiefly emphasised. (55.56)
55:70 - n them will be fair (companions) good beautiful 5217
5217 See n. 5209 above. Goodness and Beauty are specially feminine attributes. (55.70)
55:72 - Companions restrained (as to their glances) in (goodly) pavilions 52185219
5218 Maqsurat here is the passive participle of the same verb as the active participle Qasirat in Iv. 56, xxxvii. 48 and xxxviii.
52. As I have translated Qasirat by the phrase "restraining (their glances)", I think I am right in translating the passive
Maqsurat by "restrained (as to their glances)". This is the only place in the Qur-an where the passive form occurs.
