Tafseer Ibn Kathir

Wherefrom neither Yusadda`un nor Yunzifun.

meaning, they will never get headaches from this wine nor intoxicated. Rather, this wine does not affect their minds, even though it has a strong and tremendously delightful taste.

Ad-Dahhak reported from Ibn Abbas;

"The wine (of this life) has four side-effects,

- it intoxicates,

- gives headaches,

- induces vomiting and

- causes excessive urine.

So Allah mentioned the wine of Paradise free of these characteristics."

Mujahid, Ikrimah, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Atiyah Al-Awfi, Qatadah and As-Suddi said that Allah's statement,
لَاا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا
(Wherefrom neither Yusadda`un) means,

"It does not give them a headache."

While they said that
وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ
(nor will they Yunzifun) means that

"It does not change their sense of reasoning."

Allah's statement,

وَفَاكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ
