➋ { مِنْ مَّعِيْنٍ : ’’ مَعِيْنٍ ‘‘ ’’مَعَنَ يَمْعَنُ مُعُوْنًا‘‘} (F, K) { ’’ اَلْمَاءُ‘‘ ’’جَرٰي‘‘} The flowing of water. {’’ مَعِيْنٍ ‘‘ } ({فَعِيْلٌ}) Flowing, just as {’’شَرُفَ‘‘} is from {’’شَرِيْفٌ‘‘}. That is, that wine will not be of the kind that is distilled in the world by fermenting fruits and grains, but will flow naturally from springs and will run in the form of rivers, from which cups will be filled and served to them. Regarding one of the four types of rivers in Paradise, Allah Almighty has said: «وَ اَنْهٰرٌ مِّنْ خَمْرٍ لَّذَّةٍ لِّلشّٰرِبِيْنَ » [ محمد : ۱۵ ] “And rivers of wine, delicious to those who drink.”

The Literal Meaning of ﴿كأس﴾:
The word ﴿كَأسٌ﴾ is used only for a cup or glass filled with wine, which in our language is called "jam" or "saghar." A cup filled with milk or water cannot be called ﴿كَأسٌ﴾, and if this cup is empty and made of glass, it is called ﴿قَدْحٌ﴾; if it is made of leather, then ﴿عَلْبةٌ﴾; and if it is made of clay, then ﴿مُوْكِنْ﴾. And ﴿مَعِيْنٌ﴾ actually refers to pure, clear, filtered, delicious, sweet, and cool water. But when the word ﴿كأس﴾ comes with "ma'een," then "ma'een" will refer to wine possessing these qualities. Because the word ﴿كأس﴾ is specific for a cup filled with wine.
