28. Among thornless [15] lote trees,
[15] ﴿مَخْضُوْدٍ﴾ ﴿خَضَدَ﴾ ﴿الشجر﴾ means to break off or cut the thorns of a thorny tree and make it thornless, to clean it. It is said that the fewer thorns a berry tree has, the better and tastier its fruit is, and the lote trees of Paradise will be completely thornless. That is, the fruit of these berry trees will not be like the berries of this world, but will be very delicious.
