مِنْ فِضَّةٍ, in the Kur [lxxvi. 16], means Such [flasks] as, notwithstanding their clearness, or transparency, will be secure from being broken, and capable of being restored to a sound state if broken, like silver: being, as Zj says, originally of silver, yet transparent, so that what will be within them will be seen from without; whereas the قوارير of this world are originally from sand. [See also art. قر.]
