[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have been given Al-Kawthar, and indeed, it is a river that flows like this on the face of the earth. Its banks are domes of pearls that are not cracked. I struck its soil with my hand, and behold, it was a handful of musk, and its pebbles are pearls."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُعْطِيتُ الْكَوْثَرَ فَإِذَا هُوَ نَهَرٌ يَجْرِي كَذَا عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ حَافَّتَاهُ قِبَابُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ لَيْسَ مَشقُوقًا فَضَرَبْتُ بِيَدِي إِلَى تُرْبَتِهِ فَإِذَا مِسْكَةٌ ذَفِرَةٌ وَإِذَا حَصَاهُ اللُّؤْلُؤُ
