It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting among us in the mosque when suddenly a light drowsiness (a swoon) came over him. (After the drowsiness) he raised his blessed head and 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, it is your enemy who will be left without name or trace" [Surah al-Kawthar: 1-3]. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you know what al-Kawthar is?" We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is a river in Paradise which my Lord has promised me. Its vessels (cups and the like) are more than the number of the stars. My Ummah will come to it, and some of them will be held back, so I will say: O Allah, he is from my Ummah. It will be said in reply: You do not know what innovations he introduced into the religion after you."
