Illa qeelan salaman salama (surah Waqiah: 26)

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(56:26) All talk will be sound and upright. *14

Illaa qeelan salaaman salaamaa

*14) Some commentators and translators have taken the words, illa gilan salam-an salama, to mean that in Paradise one will hear only the greeting of 'Peace, peace' on every side; the correct view, however, is that it implies healthy and wholesome speech, i.e. such speech as may be free of the vices and blemishes, faults and evils, that have been mentioned in the preceding sentence. Here the word salam has been used nearly in the same sense as the English word sane.
