Nonetheless, taking into account the contextual meaning and the traditions narrated regarding the interpretation of the blessed Verse in question, the former interpretation is seemingly more consistent. Thus, according to a tradition narrated from Imam Sadiq (as):[^5] "Do not say that Paradise is one since God Almighty says that besides those two Paradises, there are two others.
Do not say either that there is solely one level, since God Almighty says some levels are higher than others and the difference in levels is a matter of degrees." In this vein, there is a Prophetic tradition according to which "Two Paradises are from gold for those near to God Almighty and two Paradises for the people of the Right Hand." The blessed Verse 63 poses the oft-repeated rhetorical question: "Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both [jinn and men] deny?" Surah al-Rahman - Verses 64-65 مُدْهَا مَّتَانِ فَبِأيِّ آلَآء رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ 64.
[The two Gardens appear] dark green [in color owing to the density of trees]. 65. Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both [jinn and men] deny? The Arabic word madhamma deriving from d-h-m is cognate with idhimam denoting raven black color herein connoting a garden seeming black due to the density of its trees. Since such color reflects utmost freshness of plants and trees, the expression designates utmost verdure of the twain Paradises.
According to a number of traditions, water, verdure, and beauty engender happiness and delight.[^6] The blessed Verse 65 further asks: "Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both [jinn and men] deny?" Surah al-Rahman - Verses 66-67 فِيهِمَا عَيْنَانِ نَضَّاخَتَانِ فَبِأيِّ آلَآء رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ 66. In the two Gardens shall be two springs gushing forth. 67. Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both [jinn and men] deny?
The Arabic word nadhdhakh denotes: "gushing forth." Thus, the blessed Verse 67 is saying that in those two Gardens, two springs shall be gushing forth. It goes without saying that looking at natural landscapes is the best delight. Water is a Blessing and its gushing forth is another Blessing.
The blessed Verse 67 further poses the rhetorical question: "Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both [jinn and men] deny?" Surah al-Rahman - Verses 68-69 فِيهِمَا فَاكِهَةٌ وَنَخْلٌ وَرُمَّانٌ فَبِأيِّ آلَآء رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ 68. In the two Gardens there shall be fruits and date-palms and pomegranates. 69.
