And when Paradise is the abode of truth, and falsehood is the most harmful thing for those of high status, and the least that harms them is hearing it, He negated that from it in the most eloquent manner by saying: "They will not hear therein any idle talk," meaning nothing of falsehood that has no benefit. And when safety is the opposite of falsehood in every way, He said: "Except" [meaning but] "peace," with no harm or defect or deficiency in it at all. And He presented it in the form of an exception, as in the saying of the poet:

"And there is no flaw in them except that their swords are remnants from the clash of the battalions."

And it is good to intend by idle talk the absolute speech; He said in the dictionary: "Laghā laghwan: he spoke." Meaning they will not hear therein any speech [except] speech that indicates safety, nor will they hear anything that indicates the harm of any of them or the harm of anything in it.

And when sustenance is one of the causes of safety, He said: "And for them is their provision," meaning according to what they wish and desire in a manner that must be brought to them and with no burden upon them in it, and they will not be reminded of it. "In it, morning and evening," meaning continuously, they do not need to seek it at any time. And in the interpretation of 'Abd al-Razzaq from Mujahid: "And there is no morning or evening in it, but they are given it according to what they used to desire in the world." Meaning they were addressed with what they know [as indicated by the delay of the adverbial phrase, for if it had been presented, it would have implied their distance from that in Paradise].
