(1). 3359. Anas narrated [regarding Allāh, Most High's, saying] 'Verily We have granted you Al-Kauthar[1] that the Prophet ﷺ said: "It is a river in Paradise." He said: "The Prophet ﷺ said: 'I saw a river in Paradise, whose banks had tents were made of pearl. I said: "What is this O Jibrīl?"' He said: "This is Al-Kauthar which Allāh has granted you."

٣٣٥٩ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ «فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ} أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: هُوَ نَهَرٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: رَأَيْتُ نَهَرًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ حَافَّتَيْهِ قِبَابُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ، قُلْتُ: مَا هَذَا يَا جِبْرِيلُ قَالَ: هَذَا الْكَوْثَرُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَهُ اللهُ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Kauthar is the superlative degree from Kathura, which means 'wealth and affluence'; so Al-Kauthar means affluence, blessed and richness; or the abundance of goodness, river of Paradise, a pond of the Last Day that will have water coming in from the river of Paradise; all this is a part of the abundance of goodness which he ﷺ has been granted. So he ﷺ interpreted Al-Kauthar as a river of Paradise.
