Virgins of Paradise (Houris)

From the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, the ever-young virgins will:

A houri is a most beautiful young woman with a transparent body. The marrow of her bones is visible like the interior lines of pearls and rubies. She looks like a red wine in a white glass.
She is of white color, and free from the routine physical disabilities of an ordinary woman such as menstruation, menopause, urinal and offal discharge, child bearing and the related pollution. She is a woman characterized by modesty and flexing glances; she never looks at any man except her husband and feels grateful for being the wife of her husband.
A houri is a young woman, free from odium and animosity. Besides, she knows the meaning of love and has the ability to put it into practice.
A houri is an immortal woman, who does not age. She speaks softly and does not raise voice at her man; she is always reconciled with him. Having been brought up in luxury, she is a luxury herself.
A houri is a girl of tender age, having large rising breasts which are round, and not inclined to dangle.
Houris dwell in palaces of splendid surroundings.
If a houri looks down from her abode in Heaven onto the earth, the whole distance shall be filled with light and fragrance.
A houri's face is more radiant than a mirror and one can see one's image in her cheek. The marrow of her shins is visible to the eyes.
Every man who enters Paradise shall be given seventy-two houris; no matter at what age he had died, when he enters Paradise, he will become a thirty-year-old and he will not age any further.
Their glances, with big eyes (of wonder and beauty).
When a man turns his face away from her, she will become 70 times more beautiful in his eyes.
If she were to spit in the salty water of the seven oceans, then all the seven oceans would turn sweater than honey.
