2445. Abū Dharr narrated: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! What about the vessels of the Hawd?' He said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! Its vessels number more than the stars of the heavens and the planets on a clear dark night. (They are) among the vessels of Paradise, whoever drinks from them, he will never be thirsty again. Its longest breadth is the same as its length, like that which is between 'Ammān to Aylah, its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadith is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb. There are narrations on this topic from Hudhaifah bin Al-Yamān, 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr, Abū Barzah Al-Aslamī, Ibn 'Umar, Hārīthah bin Wahb and Al-Mustawrid bin Shaddād. It has been reported from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet ﷺ said: "My Hawd (covers a distance) like what is between Al-Kūfah to the Black Stone."

Commentary
Various Aḥādīth read together prove the fact that the Hawd has a number of branches spread all over it. The drink shall be whiter than milk, sweeter and
more delicious than honey, and shall have far more and better pleasing odor than that of musk.
