Abu Hurairah said: "And there is more than what Allāh has told you. Recite, if you wish: 'No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do.'" [1]
He (the narrator) said: Abu Hurairah used to recite it as: Qurrati A'yunin, i.e., joys.

Commentary
a. A human being can imagine only the blessings that he knows or those which are similar to what he has, while the blessings of Paradise are totally unusual and extraordinary.
b. Many blessings of this world have the same names of the blessing which exist in Paradise; for example different fruits, meat of birds, various drinks and the like, but they have very huge and radical differences. In addition, there are many other blessings which are beyond our imagination, since they are not like the blessings of this world.
