A Cup Without Sin
يَتَنَٰزَعُونَ فِيهَا كَأۡسࣰا لَّا لَغۡوࣱ فِيهَا وَلَا تَأۡثِيمࣱ ٢٣
There they pass from hand to hand a cup wherein is neither vanity nor cause of sin.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
They will exchange a cup therein, with no ill speech or sin.
Insight
Elmalılı explains “ka’s” as a full cup; exchanging cups means joyfully offering them to one another.
