A spring wherefrom the servants of Allah will drink, causing it to gush forth abundantly.

Allah then says,
يُفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفْجِيرًا
causing it to gush forth abundantly (Tafjir).

At-Tafjir means to cause to gush forth or flow out. This is as Allah says,

وَقَالُواْ لَن نُّوْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّى تَفْجُرَ لَنَا مِنَ الاٌّرْضِ يَنْبُوعًا

And they say;"We shall not believe in you until you cause a spring to gush forth from the earth for us. (17;90)

And Allah says,

وَفَجَّرْنَا خِلَـلَهُمَا نَهَراً

We caused a river to gush forth in the midst of them. (18;33)

يُفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفْجِيرًا

Ath-Thawri said,

"They will cause it to flow wherever they wish."
