Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السَّامِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الْمَقَابِرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِنَهَرٍ يَجْرِي بَيَاضُهُ بَيَاضُ اللَّبَنِ وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ وَحَافَّتَاهُ خِيَامُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ فَضَرَبْتُ بِيَدِي فَإِذَا الثَّرَى مِسْكٌ أَذْفَرُ فَقُلْتُ لِجِبْرِيلَ مَا هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ هَذَا الْكَوْثَرُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَهُ اللَّهُ»
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Sami narrated to us: Yahya ibn Ayyub al-Maqabiri narrated to us: Isma'il ibn Ja'far narrated to us, he said: Humayd al-Tawil informed me, from Anas ibn Malik, that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'I entered Paradise and there I found a river flowing, its whiteness the whiteness of milk and sweeter than honey. Its banks were tents of pearls. I struck with my hand and the soil was the most fragrant musk. I said to Jibril: What is this? He said: This is al-Kawthar that Allah has given you.'
