Fruit, and whatever they ask for.

Wishes that are finally answered

What they have
fruitof all kinds
whatever they askall types, all found
The gap between want and have
always one morethe next upgrade
asked and givenno gap left

Ibn Kathir says the fruit is of all kinds, and whatever they ask for they will find. In dry Makkah, fresh fruit was a luxury. The listeners heard of a place with no wish left unmet.

Your cart has three things in it you do not need. Payday comes and the money is gone by the weekend. The wanting never stops here. There, asking and having are the same thing.

If I just get this next thing, I will be satisfied.

Full satisfaction is real, but it lives in Paradise, not in my cart.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir (shared passage from 36:55)

Verily, the dwellers of the Paradise, that Day, will be busy with joyful things (55)They and their wives will be in pleasant shade, reclining on thrones (56)They will have therein fruits and all that they ask for (57)(It will be said to them): "Salam (Peace!)" – a Word from the Lord, Most Merciful (58)

The Life of the People of Paradise

Allah tells us that on the Day of Resurrection, when the people of Paradise have reached the arena of judgement, and have settled in the gardens of Paradise, they will be too preoccupied with their own victory and new life of eternal delights to worry about anyone else. Al-Hasan Al-Basri and Isma'il bin Abi Khalid said, "They will be too busy to think about the torment which the people of Hell are suffering. Mujahid said:

فِي شُغُلٍ فَاكِهُونَ

(will be busy with joyful things.) "With the delights which they are enjoying." This was also the view of Qatadah. Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "This means that they will be rejoicing."

هُمْ وَأَزْوَاجُهُمْ 

(They and their wives) Mujahid said, "Their spouses,

فِي ظِلَالٍ

(will be in pleasant shade,) means, in the shade of trees."

عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ مُتَّكِئُونَ 

(reclining on thrones.) Ibn 'Abbas, Mujahid, 'Ikrimah, Muhammad bin Ka'b, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, As-Suddi and Khusayf said:

الْأَرَائِكِ

(throne) means beds beneath canopies.

لَهُمْ فِيهَا فَاكِهَةٌ

(They will have therein fruits) means, of all kinds.

وَلَهُمْ مَا يَدَّعُونَ

(and all that they ask for.) means, whatever they ask for, they will find it, all kinds and types.

سَلَامٌ قَوْلًا مِنْ رَبٍّ رَحِيمٍ

("Salam (Peace!)" – a Word from the Lord (Allah), Most Merciful.) Ibn Jurayj said, "Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said, concerning this Ayah, Allah Himself, Who is the Peace (As-Salam) will grant peace to the people of Paradise. This view of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, is like the Ayah:

تَحِيَّتُهُمْ يَوْمَ يَلْقَوْنَهُ سَلَامٌ ۚ 

(Their greeting on the Day they shall meet Him will be "Salam")(33:44).
