Surah Al-Insan — 76:17

وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِيلًا

Wa yusawna feehaa kaasan kaana mizaajuhaa zanjabeelaa

Napoją ich tam z pucharu napojem z domieszką imbiru;

And there they will be given a cup to drink, mixed with ginger,

Reflection

The surah pours a second cup here. At 76:5 the righteous drank from a cup described with the identical Arabic phrase, camphor in place of ginger, and each cup is followed a verse later by the spring it comes from. Ginger warms where camphor cools, so the pair also marks a change in the temperature of the scene.
