Commentary
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.
