The Pious and Beautiful Maids and Servants of Paradise
وَحُورٌ عِينٌ {22}
And Maiden (unmarried) Houries [56:22]
كتاب (صفة الجنة و النار): عن أبي جعفر أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، قال: حدثني سعيد بن جناح، عن عوف بن عبد الله الأزدي، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام)، قال: «ما من مؤمن يدخل الجنة إلا كان له من الأزواج خمسمائة حوراء، مع كل حوراء سبعون غلاما و سبعون جارية، كأنهن اللؤلؤ المنثور، و كأنهن اللؤلؤ المكنون
In the book Sifat Al-Jannat wal Naar – from Abu Ja’far Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, who said that it has been narrated from Saeed Bin Junaah, from Awf Bin Abdullah Al-Azdy,
From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘There will be no one from the Momineen who will enter the Paradise, but he will have as wives, five hundred Houries, with each of the Houries will be seventy young servants and seventy attendants going around (serving delicious foods and what is more), as if they were scattered pearls, and they (Houries) would be Resembling the hidden pearls [56:23].
و تفسير المكنون بمنزلة اللؤلؤ في الصدف، لم تمسه الأيدي و لم تره الأعين، و أما المنثور فيعني في الكثرة
And the explanation of ‘the hidden’ is like the pearl in the oyster, never having been touched by the hand and never having been seen by the eye; and as for the ‘scattered’, it is in the meaning of numerous.
و له سبعة قصور، في كل قصر سبعون بيتا و في كل بيت سبعون سريرا، على كل سرير سبعون فراشا، عليها زوجة من الحور العين
And for him (the Momin) would be seven (7) palaces, with each palace having seventy (70) rooms, and in every room will have seventy beds, on all the beds will be seventy mattresses, on which will be a wife from the Maiden Hourie’.[1]
