Feehinna qasiratu alttarfi lam yatmithhunna insun qablahum wala jannunTafsir of Verse 56
therein maidens restraining their glances, untouched before them by any man or jinn --
In them will be (Maidens), chaste, restraining their glances, whom no man or Jinn before them has touched;-
لَمْ يَطْمِثْهُنَّ إِنسٌ قَبْلَهُمْ وَلَا جَانٌّ (...whom neither a man will have touched before them, nor a Jinn....55:56). The word طْمِث tamth has different meanings. 'Menstrual discharge' is termed as tamth, and the menstruating woman as طْامِث 'tamith'. It also means 'sexual intercourse with a virgin'. This second sense is meant here in this verse.
