QURANHIVE
لَمْ يَطْمِثْهُنَّ إِنسٌ قَبْلَهُمْ وَلَا جَانٌّ
“No human or Jinn before them had been intimate with them”

Emphasizing that the companions are exclusive to those they are provided to.

Core Statement

The companions mentioned here had not been touched intimately by either a human or a Jinn before them.

Human: none
Jinn: none
Exclusively reserved

Clarification: “before them”

“Before them” refers to those they are being provided to in Jannah — their spouses.

Parallel with earlier mention

Just like it was stated concerning the

قَاصِرَاتُ الطَّرْفِ
“The women companions who restrict their eyes (i.e. to their spouses)”

in the first two gardens, it is similarly stated here regarding the female companions of these two gardens.

Continuity across gardens

The same emphasis on guarded exclusivity applies: untouched by human or Jinn, affirming the same standard for these two gardens.

Exclusively for their spouses

This reinforces that they are special female companions exclusively created for and provided to their spouses.

Dedicated
Provided to

Key takeaways

  • Explicit negation: no prior intimacy by human or Jinn.
  • Continuity with the earlier standard mentioned concerning قَاصِرَاتُ الطَّرْفِ.
  • Affirms exclusivity: companions are created for and provided to their spouses.
