784. It was reported from Al-Mukhtār bin Fulful who said: “I heard Anas bin Mālik saying: ‘The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “A Sūrah was just revealed to me.” Then he recited: “Bismillāhir-Rahmānir-Rahīm (In the Name of Allāh, the Merciful, the Beneficent); We have indeed given you the Kawthar...” until he finished the Sūrah.[3] He said: “Do you know what the Kawthar is?” They said: “Allāh and His Messenger know best.” He replied: “It is a river that my Lord, the Mighty and Sublime, has promised (to give) me in Paradise.” (Sahīh)

784 - حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنِ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيَّ آنِفًا سُورَةٌ فَقَرَأَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا»، قَالَ: «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْكَوْثَرُ؟»، قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: «فَإِنَّهُ نَهْرٌ وَعَدَنِيهِ رَبِّي فِي الْجَنَّةِ»
