The Koran (Al-Qur'an) SECTION I. / SECTION II. / SECTION III / SECTION IV.; lines 5003-5059 confidence: medium
Persian Magi are said to believe in Behisht/Mnu, a paradise for the righteous with delights and black-eyed nymphs, Hurni behisht, cared for by the angel Zamiyd; the commentator says Mohammed seems to have taken a hint from this.
The passage groups delights, eating and drinking, wives, and paradisiacal companions as images of afterlife felicity.
