Does Allah Almighty's saying: "Therein for you is much fruit whereof you eat" mean that there will be fruits in Paradise from which we will not eat?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The exegetes mentioned that the particle "min" (مِنْ) in the verse "from it you eat" (مِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ) is either for partiality (tab'iḍiyyah) or for inception/origin (ibtidā'iyyah). If it is for partiality, it means that the people of Paradise will eat what they desire from the many types of fruits available, and leave what they do not desire on their trees, which are always laden with fruit. This is supported by Al-Bazzar's hadith: "No man in Paradise will pick a fruit from its tree except that two similar ones will grow in its place."
