إِنَّ لَكَ أَلَّا تَجُوعَ فِيهَا وَلَا تَعْرَىٰ
Inna laka all a tajooAAa feeh a wal a taAAr a
Behold, it is provided for thee that thou shalt not hunger here or feel naked,105
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "be naked": but in view of the statement in verse {121} (as well as in {7: 22}) to the effect that only after their fall from grace did Adam and Eve become "conscious of their nakedness", it is but logical to assume that the words "that thou shalt not... be naked" have a spiritual significance, implying that man, in his original state of innocence, would not feel naked despite all absence of clothing. (For the deeper implications of this allegory, see note [14] on 7:20 .)

Here in Paradise you shall go neither hungry nor naked;
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Here it is guaranteed that you will never go hungry or unclothed,
  - Mustafa Khattab
It is (vouchsafed) unto thee that thou hungerest not therein nor art naked,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
"There is therein (enough provision) for thee not to go hungry nor to go naked" 2642
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Not only had the warning been given that satan is an enemy to man and will effect his destruction, but it was clearly pointed out that all his needs were being met in the Garden of Happiness. Food and clothing, drink and shelter, were amply provided for.
