Musnad Abi Ya'la 3185 — Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، فِي قَوْلِ اللهِ : عِنْدَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، قَالَ : رُفِعَتْ لِي سِدْرَةُ الْمُنْتَهَى فِي السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ نَبْقُهَا مِثْلُ قِلَالِ هَجَرَ ، وَوَرَقُهَا مِثْلُ آذَانِ الْفِيَلَةِ ، يَخْرُجُ مِنْ سَاقِهَا نَهَرَانِ ظَاهِرَانِ ، وَنَهَرَانِ بَاطِنَانِ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا جِبْرِيلُ مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَ : أَمَّا النَّهَرَانِ الْبَاطِنَانِ فَفِي الْجَنَّةِ ، وَأَمَّا الظَّاهِرَانِ فَالنِّيلُ وَالْفُرَاتُ .
Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him), explaining the saying of Allah Almighty "Near the Lote-Tree of the Utmost Boundary (Sidrat al-Muntaha)", says that Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) informed him that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sidrat al-Muntaha was raised up for me in the seventh heaven. Its fruits were like the earthenware jars of Hajar and its leaves were like the ears of elephants. From its trunk issued two outer rivers and two inner rivers. I asked: 'O Jibril! What are these?' He said: 'The two inner rivers are in Paradise, and the two outer rivers are the Nile and the Euphrates.'"
