Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ { إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ } أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ هُوَ نَهَرٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَيْتُ نَهْرًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ حَافَّتَاهُ قِبَابُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا يَا جِبْرِيلُ قَالَ هَذَا الْكَوْثَرُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
English Translation
Abd al-Razzaq told us, Ma'mar informed us, from Qatadah, from Anas, concerning the saying of Allah, Mighty and Sublime, "Indeed, We have given you al-Kawthar," that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "It is a river in Paradise." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I saw a river in Paradise, its two banks were domes of pearl. I said, 'What is this, O Gabriel?' He said, 'This is al-Kawthar, which Allah, Mighty and Sublime, has given you.'"
