o “Full-breasted (mature) maidens of equal age” as per Dr Khan and Dr Al-Hilali.
o “High-bosomed maidens” as per N J Dawood.
o “Perfected maidens of equal age and beauty” as per Ahmad Zidan.

*Note 078:037. The word حِسَابًا (hay-saa-baa) literally means ‘appropriately, equally or properly counted and balanced account’, ‘in equal balance commensurate with the work done.’ The same one word has been used to convey two different shades of its meanings as given in the verses 078:028 and 078:037.

And there is another, almost opposite meanings of this word as a ‘characteristic of the spoken language or of writing that is used to create the effect of conversation.’ Colloquially and customarily it conveys being ‘Beyond measurements’ and ‘over and above the balanced, equal or normal reward.’ In this sense it conforms to the Hadeeth that Islam dismantles and demolishes the previous evil deeds and so do the migration for Allah’s sake and Hujj (pilgrimage to Makkah) as reported in the Sahih Muslim. Other Hadeeth have reported that sincerely embracing Islam begets rewards from ten to seven hundred times.
