حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أخبرنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ أَغْفَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِغْفَاءَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مُتَبَسِّمًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِمَّا قَالَ لَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِمَّا قَالُوا لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لِمَ ضَحِكْتَ ؟ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّهُ أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيَّ آنِفًا سُورَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَرَأَ:‏‏‏‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا قَرَأَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْكَوْثَرُ ؟،‏‏‏‏ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَإِنَّهُ نَهْرٌ وَعَدَنِيهِ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَلَيْهِ خَيْرٌ كَثِيرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَلَيْهِ حَوْضٌ تَرِدُ عَلَيْهِ أُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏آنِيَتُهُ عَدَدُ الْكَوَاكِبِ .

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم dozed for a short while and raised his smiling. He either said to them (people) or they said to him: Messenger of Allah! Why did you laugh? He said: A surah has been revealed to me just now, and then he recited: “In the name of Allah, Most Gracious. Most Merciful. To thee We have granted the fount (of abundance)” up to the end. When he recited, he asked: Do you know what al-kauthar is? They replied: Allah and his Messenger know best. He said: It is a river which my Lord, the Exalted, has promised me ( to grant) in Paradise: there is abundance of good and upon it there is a pond which my people will approach on the Day of Resurrection. There are vessels as numerous as stars (in the sky).
