17. Its there
"Thus shall it be. And We shall pair them with companions pure, most beautiful of eye."
"In these will be mates of modest gaze, whom neither man nor invisible being will have touched ere then."
" companions pure and modest, in pavilions
"reclining on couches ranged in rows!” And We shall mate them with companions pure, most beautiful of eye
Here is a verse that refers to one’s own renewal to a pure state:

"And spouses, raised high: for, behold, We shall have brought them into being in a life renewed, having resurrected them as virgins
And among His wonders is this: He creates for you mates out of your own kind. so that you might incline towards them, and He engenders love and tenderness between you: in this, behold, there are messages indeed for people who think! … And He it is who creates in the first instance, and then brings it forth anew: and most easy is this for Him, since His is the essence of all that is most sublime in the heavens and on earth, and He alone is almighty, truly wise.
A verse regarding other companionship:

“And, O our Sustainer, bring them into the gardens of perpetual bliss which Thou hast promised them, together with the righteous from among their forebears, and their spouses, and their offspring - for, verily, Thou alone art almighty, truly wise "


the number 72 is from Hadith.




Some think it may mean grapes
