Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَسِيرُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِنَهَرٍ حَافَّتَاهُ قِبَابُ الدُّرِّ الْمُجَوَّفِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا يَا جِبْرِيلُ قَالَ هَذَا الْكَوْثَرُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَ رَبُّكَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ فَضَرَبْتُ بِيَدِي فَإِذَا طِينُهُ مِسْكٌ أَذْفَرُ وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ الْمُجَوَّفُ.
English Translation
Bahz and Affan narrated to us, both said: Hammam narrated to us: Qatadah narrated to us, from Anas, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "While I was walking in Paradise, there was a river with banks of hollowed-out pearl domes." He said: I said, "What is this, O Gabriel?" He said, "This is al-Kawthar, which your Lord, Mighty and Majestic, has given you." He said: Then I struck it with my hand, and its clay was fragrant musk. Affan said: hollowed-out.
