And His statement: "and a brimful cup (kaʾsan dihāqan)" says: and a filled cup, presented to its drinkers in succession, in abundance and fullness. Its origin comes from al-dahq, and that is pressing upon a person in succession and with force and intensity; and likewise the "kaʾs dihāq": its being presented in succession to its drinkers in abundance and fullness.
In accordance with what we have said about this, the interpreters of the tafsīr also spoke.
