Sura 55
Aya 76
76
مُتَّكِئينَ عَلىٰ رَفرَفٍ خُضرٍ وَعَبقَرِيٍّ حِسانٍ

Yusuf Ali

Reclining on green Cushions1 and rich Carpets of beauty.
  • Cf. the parallel words for the other two Gardens, in 55:54 above, which suggest perhaps a higher dignity. Rafraf is usually translated by Cushions or Pillows, and I have followed this meaning in view of the word “reclining”. But another interpretation is “Meadows”, in view of the adjective “green"? 'abqari: carpets richly figured and dyed, and skillfully worked.
