Paradise as an Inheritance: Permanent and Proprietary Rights:
The inhabitants of Paradise will have proprietary rights there, so that in their own vast and allotted Paradise, they may reside wherever they find suitable according to their circumstances. Because the word "tabawwa’a" is used for residing in a place whose climate and environment are agreeable and suitable to the temperament of the dweller.
[95] This phrase can be attributed to the righteous themselves, that they will say this to one another. It can also be attributed to the angels, and to Allah Almighty.
