إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ يَشْرَبُونَ مِن كَأْسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا
كَافُوْر (Kafur) 源出 كَفَرَ (Kafara), 意思是掩护或克制。这节经文的意思是, 饮用樟脑调合的杯子具有降低兽欲的效果。敬畏的信者的心胸因净化一切不洁思想, 并藉安拉深邃的认识的清凉解除情欲的火热。
Kafur is derived from Kafara which means, to cover or to suppress. The significance of the verse is that the quaffing of camphor-drink will have the effect of cooling down animal passions. The heart of righteous believers will be cleansed of all impure thoughts and they will be refrigerated with the coolness of deep Divine knowledge.

وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِيلًا
زَنْجَبِيْل (Zanjabil, 生姜) 这个字是 زَنَا (Zana, 登上) 和 جَبَلْ (Jabal, 大山) 的复合词, 意思是: 他登上大山。生姜对提高人体本身的热量很有用。它 (生姜) 能够在虚弱的身体内加强并产生热量, 所以使人可以登上陡峭的高峰。这两节经文都提到樟脑 (كَافُوْر, Kafur,) 和生姜, 目的是要注意一个信者所必须经过的两个阶段, 为的是从低级的奴隶状态在精神进展上发挥出热情, 升迁到德性和正义的高峰。第一阶段称为 كَافُوْر (樟脑) 阶段, 在这个阶段毒性受到抑制, 汹涌的情欲开始退却;因为只有在这个阶段抑制毒物才有效, 正像樟脑具有消除情欲的强大功能。但是克服一切困难所需要的精神力量是在第二阶段获得的, 这个阶段称为 زَنْجَبِيْل (生姜) 阶段。精神上的姜对精神系统有兴奋作用, 能显示出真主的美和光辉, 为灵魂提供营养。精神旅人得到了这种显示的支持就能横越阴郁的沙漠, 攀上陡峭的高山, 达到他的精神旅途的目的地。
The word Zanjabil, being a compound of Zana (to ascend) and Jabal (mountain) signifies, he ascended the mountain. Zanjabil or ginger is very useful in promoting the natural heat of the body. It gives strength to and generates heat in the weak body so as to enable a person to ascend precipitous heights. The two verses, in which Kafur (camphor) and Zanjabil (ginger) are mentioned, are meant to call attention to the two stages through which a believer has to pass in order to make spiritual advance from the low position of slavery to passions to the heights of virtue and righteousness. The first stage in which poisonous matter is suppressed and the flood of passions begins to subside is termed the Kafur (camphor) stage; for in this stage only the suppression of poisonous matter is effected just as camphor has the property of nullifying the strong effect of passion. But the spiritual power which is required to overcome all difficulties is acquired in the second s
Commentary:
زنجبیل (ginger) is a compound of زنی (meaning to ascend) and جبل (meaning mountain). The compound word زنجبیل therefore means, "he ascended the mountain." زنجبیل or ginger is the root of a plant, very useful in promoting the natural heat of the body. The name given to it points to this property, for it gives strength to and generates heat in the weak body so as to enable a person to ascend precipitous heights. These two verses in which کافور (camphor) and زنجبیل (ginger) are respectively spoken of call attention to the two stages through which a believer has to pass in order to make advance, from the low position of slavery to passion, to the heights of virtue and righteousness. The first stage is that in which poisonous materials are suppressed and the flood of passions begins to subside. This we term the کافور (camphor) stage; for in this stage what is effected is only the suppression of poisonous matter, just as کافور has the property of nullifying the strong effect of passion. But the spiritual power which is required to overcome all difficulties is acquired in the second stage which is called the زنجبیل stage. The spiritual ginger (زنجبیل) which has the effect of a tonic on the spiritual system is the manifestation of Divine Beauty and Glory which affords nourishment to the soul. Braced with this manifestation, the spiritual wayfarer is able to traverse the dreary deserts and to climb the steep heights to be met with on his spiritual journey. To make men understand these two spiritual stages two words have been employed by the Quran, viz. کافور or that which suppresses poisonous matters and زنجبیل or that which gives strength to ascend spiritual heights and overcome all difficulties in the spiritual journey. Whereas at the کافور (camphor) stage the righteous will themselves drink the wine of God’s love, at the much higher زنجبیل (ginger) stage they will be served with this elixir.

While at the Kafur stage of spiritual journey the God-intoxicated wayfarer is described as himself seeking to drink the wine of God’s love (v. 6) and at the Zanjabil stage he is served by others with the life-giving beverage (v. 18), at the last or Salsabil stage God Himself gives him to drink the elixir of everlasting life. This is a significant graduation in the three kinds of drink. Camphor has a cooling and ginger a warming effect, and Salsabil means to pursue naturally the appointed course. The first drink is tempered with camphor. It helps to cool desires and passions. The second drink, tempered with ginger, stimulates the pursuit of righteousness and Salsabil marks the stage in which the believer will naturally follow the righteous course.
