Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said the meaning of «حور‏» is "those with black eyes," and Mujahid said the meaning of «مقصورات‏» is "their gaze and soul will be fixed upon their husbands (they will not cast their eyes upon anyone except their husbands)." The meaning of «قاصرات» ‏‏‏‏ is "she will not desire anyone except her husband." The meaning of «فى الخيام» is "they will be kept safe in tents."

Narrated `Abdullah bin Qais: Allah's Messenger said, "In Paradise there is a pavilion made of a single hollow pearl sixty miles wide, in each corner of which there are wives who will not see those in the other corners; and the believers will visit and enjoy them. And there are two gardens, the utensils and contents of which are made of silver; and two other gardens, the utensils and contents of which are made of so-and-so (i.e. gold) and nothing will prevent the people staying in the Garden of Eden from seeing their Lord except the curtain of Majesty over His Face."
