al-Ṭūr

وَأقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَی بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءلُونَ

قَالُوا إِنَّا كُنَّا قَبْلُ فِي أهْلِنَا مُشْفِقِينَ

فَمَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقَانَا عَذَابَ السَّمُومِ

25. And some of them [people of Paradise] draw near to others, questioning [the secret of being provided with so many Bounties in Paradise].

26. Saying: Aforetime [in the world], we were benevolent toward our families warning them against Divine torment.

27. “Thus, Allah has been gracious to us and has saved us from the torment of the Fire.

These three blessed Verses also treat of the state of bliss enjoyed by the people of Paradise saying that besides other Bounties bestowed upon them, they associate with one another inquiring as to the virtues and merits leading to such exalted state to which they reply by saying that their virtues and merits included their association with the people of the world, entertaining fear of Divine torment and it was for the sake of such fear that God Almighty bestowed his favor upon them and saved them from excruciating and horrible torment.
