حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ ، عَنِ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا ، إِذْ أَغْفَى إِغْفَاءَةً ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مُبْتَسِمًا ، فَقُلْتُ : مَا أَضْحَكَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ : أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيَّ آنِفًا سُورَةٌ ، فَقَرَأَ : بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الأَبْتَرُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : مَا تَدْرُونَ مَا الْكَوْثَرُ ؟ قُلْنَا : اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : فَإِنَّهُ نَهَرٌ وَعَدَنِيهِ عَلَيْهِ رَبِّي خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا ، هُوَ حَوْضٌ تَرِدُ عَلَيْهِ أُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، آنِيَتُهُ عَدَدُ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ ، فَيُخْتَلَجُ الْعَبْدُ مِنْهُمْ ، فَأَقُولُ : رَبِّ ، إِنَّهُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي ، فَيَقُولُ : إِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثُوا بَعْدَكَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "One day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting among us when suddenly drowsiness came over him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his blessed head, smiling, and I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what are you smiling at? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'A surah has just been revealed to me.' Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited: 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Indeed, We have granted you al-Kawthar. So pray to your Lord and sacrifice. Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off.' Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'Do you know what al-Kawthar is?' We said: Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'It is a river which my Lord has promised me, and in it is abundant good. It is a pool to which my Ummah will come (to drink) on the Day of Resurrection; the number of its vessels is that of the stars of the sky. Then some people among them will be pulled away from it, and I will say: My Lord, he is from my Ummah! And Allah Almighty will say: Indeed, you do not know what new things they introduced (into the religion) after you.'"
