Cevap
Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597 AH / 1201 CE) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr":
- It is similar in appearance and color, but different in taste. [Mujāhid, Abū al-ʿĀliyah, al-Ḍaḥḥāk, al-Suddī, Muqātil]
- It is similar in quality, it contains no defects.[Al-Ḥasan, Ibn Jurayj]
- It resembles the fruits of this world in nature and name, but it is better in appearance and taste. [Qatādah, Ibn Zayd]
