(hidden) eggs (well) preserved.” [Sura As-Sâffât (37):40-48]

“And beside them will be chaste females (virgins) restraining their glances only for their
husbands, (and) of equal ages.” [Sura Sâd (38):52]

“So (it will be), and We shall marry them to Houris (female fair ones) with wide, lovely
eyes.” [Sura Ad-Dukhân (44):51-55]

“They will recline (with ease) on thrones arranged in ranks. And We shall marry them to
Houris (female, fair ones) with wide lovely eyes.” [Sura At-Tûr (52):20]

“Wherein both (gardens) will be those (maidens) restraining their glances upon their
husbands, whom no man or jinn yatmithhunna (has opened their hymens with sexual
intercourse) before them. Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinns
and men) deny? (In beauty) they are like rubies and coral.” [Sura Ar-Rahmân (55):56-
58]

“Therein (gardens) will be fair (wives) good and beautiful; …Houris (beautiful, fair
females) restrained in pavilions; …Whom no man or jinn yatmithhunna (has opened
their hymens with sexual intercourse) before them.” [Sura Ar-Rahmân (55):70,72,74]

“And (there will be) Houris (fair females) with wide, lovely eyes (as wives for the pious),
Like unto preserved pearls.” [Sura Al-Wâqi’ah (56):22-23]
Verily, we have created them (maidens) of special creation. And made them virgins;
Loving (their husbands only), equal in age. [Sura Al-Wâqi’ah (56):37-40]

And young full-breasted (mature) maidens of equal age; [Sura An-Naba’ (78):33]
