2542. Anas bin Mālik narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was asked: "What is Al-Kawthar?" He said: "That is a river that Allāh 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
