(وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا) فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ [سورة الكوثر: ١] أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ هُوَ نَهَرٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَيْتُ نَهْرًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ حَافَتَاهُ قِبَابُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا يَا جِبْرِيلُ قَالَ هَذَا الْكَوْثَرُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, regarding the statement of Allah Almighty {إِنَّا أَ عْطَیْنَاکَ الْکَوْثَرَ}, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: This is a river in Paradise. He, peace and blessings be upon him, further said: I saw a river in Paradise, on its banks were tents of pearls. I asked: O Jibril! What is this? He said: This is the Kawthar which Allah Almighty has granted to you.
