Chapter 39 · Chapter on the description of Paradiseحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَا الْكَوْثَرُ قَالَ: ذَاكَ نَهْرٌ أَعْطَانِيهِ اللَّهُ، يَعْنِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ، أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ، وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ، فِيهَا طَيْرٌ أَعْنَاقُهَا كَأَعْنَاقِ الْجُزُرِ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَنَاعِمَةٌ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَكَلَتُهَا أَحْسَنُ مِنْهَا ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ هُوَ ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ الزُّهْرِيِّ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَدْ رَوَى عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ.

Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was asked: What is Al-Kawthar? He said: That is a river that Allah has given me - that is, in Paradise- 'whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. In it are birds whose necks are like the necks of camels. 'Umar said: Indeed this is plump and luxurious then. So the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said, Those who consume it are more plumb than it.
