And He [Allahu ta’ālā] says of the believers: Indeed Allahu ta’ālā shall admit those who believe and perform righteous deeds into gardens underneath which rivers flow; adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearl (read wa-lu'lu'in, genitive, to mean [bracelets] made of both [elements], so that the pearls are set in gold; or read wa-lu'lu'an, accusative, as a supplement to the [syntactical] locus of min asāwira, 'bracelets');⁵ and their raiment therein will be silk, namely, the one forbidden for men to wear in this world.
