﴿22﴾ وَأمْدَدْنَاهُم بِفَاكِهَةٍ وَلَحْمٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ
﴿23﴾ يَتَنَازَعُونَ فِيهَا كَأسًا لَآ لَغْوٌ فِيهَا وَلَآ تَأثِيمٌ

22. And We shall provide them with fruit and meat such as they desire.
23. There they shall pass from hand to hand a cup, free from any vain talk and free from sin.

Exegesis:

The blessed Verse proceeds with an enumeration of the Bounties which shall be bestowed upon the people of Paradise saying that We shall prepare whatever the people of Paradise desire of meat and fruit and We shall increase the Bounties they desire such that they shall bear neither hardship nor affliction for obtaining them. "Such as they desire" reflects that God fearing believers shall avail themselves of whatever they desire since they reflect Divine Creativity since they shall be able to create whatever they desire. The blessed Verse 23 is saying that the people of Paradise shall pass from hand to hand a cup brimming with the wine of Paradise. The wine shall be such that it shall not take away reason nor shall it lead to committing vices. It makes a reference to the point that Bounties in store for the people of Paradise shall be free from blights and afflictions unlike those of mundane ones which entail pains and afflictions.
