ذِكْرُ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى

nasai-kubra:11469Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm > ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Maʿmar > Qatādah

[Machine] In his saying, "Indeed, We have granted you, [O Muhammad], al-Kawthar" [Surah Al-Kawthar:1], it is stated that the Prophet ﷺ said, "It is a river in Paradise, its banks are of pearls. So I said, 'O Jibril, what is this?' He said, 'It is al-Kawthar which Allah, blessed and exalted, has given to you. And the Sidrat al-Muntaha has been raised up for me, its end being in the seventh heaven."  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٤٦٩أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

فِي قَوْلِهِ {§إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ} [الكوثر 1] أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ هُوَ نَهْرٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ حَافَّتَاهُ قِبَابٌ مِنْ لُؤْلُؤٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا جِبْرِيلُ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ هُوَ الْكَوْثَرُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَهُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَرُفِعَتْ لِي سِدْرَةُ الْمُنْتَهَى مُنْتَهَاهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ
