Silsilah Sahihah

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: What is Al-Kawthar? He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "It is a river in Paradise which Allah, the Exalted, has granted me. Its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. In it are birds whose necks are like the necks of camels." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: They must be very plump birds. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Eating them will be even more delightful."
