ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ الْكَوْثَرَ الَّذِي خَصَّهُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا بِإِعْطَائِهِ إِيَّاهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I entered Paradise and I found myself by a river with banks made of pearls. I struck the course of water with my hand and it turned into musk. So I said, 'O Jibril, what is this?' He said, 'This is Al-Kawthar that Allah has granted you or that your Lord has granted you.'  

ابن حبّان:٦٤٧٢أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى الْقَطَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِنَهَرٍ حَافَّتَاهُ مِنَ اللُّؤْلُؤِ فَضَرَبْتُ بِيَدِي مَجْرَى الْمَاءِ فَإِذَا مِسْكٌ أَذْفَرُ فَقُلْتُ يَا جِبْرِيلُ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ هَذَا الْكَوْثَرُ أَعْطَاكَهُ اللَّهُ أَوْ أَعْطَاكَ رَبُّكَ»
