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.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: I offered two rak'ahs of prayer before the Maghrib prayer (i. e. obligatory) during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I (narrator al-Mukhtar bin Fulful) asked Anas: Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ se you ? He replied: Yes, but he neither commanded us nor forbade us (to do so).

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).
