الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، يَقُولُ : " أَغْفَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِغْفَاءَةً ، فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مُتَبَسِّمًا ، فَإِمَّا قَالَ لَهُمْ ، وَإِمَّا قَالُوا لَهُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لِمَ ضَحِكْتَ ؟ فَقَالَ : إِنَّهُ أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيَّ آنِفًا سُورَةٌ ، فَقَرَأَ : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ، إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا ، فَلَمَّا قَرَأَهَا ، قَالَ : هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْكَوْثَرُ ؟ , قَالُوا : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : فَإِنَّهُ نَهْرٌ وَعَدَنِيهِ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، وَعَلَيْهِ خَيْرٌ كَثِيرٌ ، عَلَيْهِ حَوْضٌ تَرِدُ عَلَيْهِ أُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، آنِيَتُهُ عَدَدُ الْكَوَاكِبِ " .
Anas bin Malik said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ dozed for a short while and raised his smiling. He either said to them (people) or they said to him: Messenger of Allah! Why did you laugh? He said: A surah has been revealed to me just now, and then he recited: “In the name of Allah, Most Gracious. Most Merciful. To thee We have granted the fount (of abundance)” up to the end. When he recited, he asked: Do you know what al-kauthar is? They replied: Allah and his Messenger know best. He said: It is a river which my Lord, the Exalted, has promised me ( to grant) in Paradise: there is abundance of good and upon it there is a pond which my people will approach on the Day of Resurrection. There are vessels as numerous as stars (in the sky).

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: When the Prophet of Allah ﷺ was lifted to the heavens (for travelling) in Paradise, or as he said, a river whose banks were of transparent or hollowed pearls was presented to him. The angel who was with him struck it with his hand and took out musk. Muhammad ﷺ then asked the angel who was with him: What is this? He replied: It is al-Kawthar which Allah has given you.

أَبَا بَرْزَةَ دَخَلَ عَلَى عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ، فَحَدَّثَنِي فُلَانٌ ، سَمَّاهُ مُسْلِمٌ ، وَكَانَ فِي السِّمَاطِ ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّ مُحَمَّدِيَّكُمْ هَذَا الدَّحْدَاحُ ، فَفَهِمَهَا الشَّيْخُ ، فَقَالَ : مَا كُنْتُ أَحْسَبُ أَنِّي أَبْقَى فِي قَوْمٍ يُعَيِّرُونِي بِصُحْبَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ : إِنَّ صُحْبَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَكَ زَيْنٌ ، غَيْرُ شَيْنٍ ، قَالَ : إِنَّمَا بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكَ لِأَسْأَلَكَ عَنِ الْحَوْضِ ، سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَذْكُرُ فِيهِ شَيْئًا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَرْزَةَ : نَعَمْ ، لَا مَرَّةً ، وَلَا ثِنْتَيْنِ ، وَلَا ثَلَاثًا ، وَلَا أَرْبَعًا ، وَلَا خَمْسًا ، فَمَنْ كَذَّبَ بِهِ ، فَلَا سَقَاهُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مُغْضَبًا " .
Abdus Salam ibn Abu Hazim Abu Talut said: I saw Abu Barzah who came to visit Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad. Then a man named Muslim who was there in the company mentioned it to me. When Ubaydullah saw him, he said: This Muhammad of yours is a dwarf and fat. The old man (i. e. Abu Barzah) understood it. So he said: I did not think that I should remain among people who would make me feel ashamed of the company of Muhammad ﷺ. Thereupon Ubaydullah said: The company of Muhammad ﷺ is a honour for you, not a disgrace. He added: I called for you to ask about the reservoir. Did you hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioning anything about it? Abu Barzah said: Yes, not once, twice, thrice, four times or five times. If anyone believes it, may Allah not supply him with water from it. He then went away angrily.
