Commentary
And when he mentioned the couches and clarified their greatness, he mentioned their purpose and said: ﴿reclining﴾ (p-203) meaning: reclining in the manner of one sitting cross-legged or otherwise from the side or otherwise ﴿upon them﴾. And when the gathering is large, the presence of some of its people to one another is known, he indicated that the gatherings of the people of Paradise are not like that and said: ﴿facing one another﴾. So there is no distance and no turning away; none of them looks at the back of another, nor does any of them dislike another.
