هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ
الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيَّ آنِفًا سُورَةٌ ، فَقَرَأَ : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ سورة الكوثر آية 1 حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا ، قَالَ : هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْكَوْثَرُ ؟ قَالُوا : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : فَإِنَّهُ نَهْرٌ وَعَدَنِيهِ رَبِّي فِي الْجَنَّةِ " .
Anas bin Malik said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: A surah has just been revealed to me. He then recited: ”In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. Lo! We have given thee Abundance” until he finished it. Then he asked: Do you know what Abundance (al-Kawthar) is? They replied: Allah and His Messenger know it better. He said: It is a river of which my Lord, the Exalted, the Majestic has promised me to give in Paradise.
