- (بينا أنا أسير في الجنة؛ إذ عُرضَ لي نهرٌ حافتاه قباب اللؤلؤ، قلت للملك: ما هذا [يا جبريل] ؟! قال: هذا الكوثر الذي أعطاكه الله، قال: ثم ضرب بيده إلى طينه (¬1) ، فاستخرج مسكاً، ثم رُفعت لي سِدرةُ المنتهى، فرأيت عندها نوراً عظيماً) .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "I was walking in Paradise when I reached a river, on whose banks were domes of pearls. I said to the angel: 'O Jibreel! What is this?' He said: 'This is the river Kawthar which Allah Almighty has granted you.'" Then he struck his hand on its soil and (from the place of the soil) extracted musk. "Then «سدرة المنتهى» was brought before me, and I saw a great light near it."
