ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ قَوْلَهُ ﷺ «حَافَّتَاهُ مِنَ اللُّؤْلُؤِ»، أَرَادَ بِهِ: قِبَابَ اللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمُجَوَّفِ

[Machine] The following passage translates to: The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , narrated that he said, "While I was walking in paradise, a river with domes made of hollow pearls appeared before me. The angel who was with me said, 'Do you know what this is?' I replied, 'This is Al-Kawthar (a river in paradise) which your Lord has given you.' He then struck the ground with his hand and brought out musk from it."  

ابن حبّان:٦٤٧٤أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ النَّرْسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَدَّثَ قَالَ «بَيْنَا أَنَا أَسِيرُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ إِذْ عَرَضَ لِي نَهَرٌ حَافَّتَاهُ قِبَابُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمُجَوَّفِ فَقَالَ الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي مَعَهُ أَتَدْرِي مَا هَذَا؟ هَذَا الْكَوْثَرُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَ رَبُّكَ وَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ فَأَخْرَجَ مِنْ طِينِهِ الْمِسْكَ»

“While I was traveling through Paradise, a river appeared before me whose banks had tents of pearl. I said to the angel: ‘What is this?’ He said: ‘This is Al-Kauthar, which Allah has granted you.’” He said: “Then he put his hand in the clay, and removed musk from it, then I was raised up to Sidrat Al-Muntaha so I saw a magnificent light at it.”

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, he said: "While I was walking in Jannah, a river with banks made of hollow pearls was presented to me. I asked Jibril, 'What is this?' He replied, 'This is Al-Kawthar that your Lord has granted to you.' I then struck it with my hand and the clay in it turned into musk, and its pebbles turned into pearls." [Abdul-Wahhab, from his book, I read: The angel who was with me asked, 'Do you know what this is?' He said, 'This is Al-Kawthar that your Lord has granted to you.' Then he struck it with his hand, and musk came out of it."
