Surah Al-Insan — 76:17

وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِيلًا

Wa yusawna feehaa kaasan kaana mizaajuhaa zanjabeelaa

اور وہاں ان کو ایسی شراب (بھی) پلائی جائے گی جس میں سونٹھ کی آمیزش ہوگی

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.
