Surah Az-Zukhruf — 43:34

وَلِبُيُوتِهِمْ أَبْوَٰبًا وَسُرُرًا عَلَيْهَا يَتَّكِـُٔونَ

Wa libu yootihim abwaabanw wa sururan 'alaihaa yattaki'oon

I drzwi, i łoża, na których by wypoczywali leżąc;

and doors for their houses, and couches on which to recline,

Reflection

Surur, the couches named here, furnishes the garden too at 15:47 and 52:20, so a reward and a withheld luxury are drawn with one vocabulary. The inventory stays deliberately domestic, roofs and stairs and doors and seating, the contents of a rich man's house rather than anything marvellous, and that modesty of scale is itself the comment on what wealth proves.
