26. Only (greetings of) "Peace, peace" [14] will they hear.
[14] One meaning of this is that the people of Paradise will greet each other with peace. The angels will also pray for their safety, and peace will descend and greetings of peace will be sent upon them from Allah Almighty as well. Another meaning is that whatever the people of Paradise say to each other will be filled with goodwill and peace for one another. Their conversation will be meaningful, fruitful, and informative. Very pure topics will be discussed among them. In their gatherings, the remembrance of Allah and the frequent recitation of tasbih and tahlil will take place, and every conversation of theirs will contain some aspect of goodness and peace for one another.
