The Messenger of God ﷺ was asked what al-Kawthar is, and he answered
[ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ الْكَوْثَرِ مَا هُوَ ؟ فَأَجَابَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو - قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: هُوَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيُّ - عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ أَخِي مُحَمَّدِ ( بْنِ مُسْلِمِ ) بْنِ شِهَابٍ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَقِيلَ لَهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا الْكَوْثَرُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَ اللَّهُ ؟ قَالَ: نَهْرٌ كَمَا بَيْنَ صَنْعَاءَ إلَى أَيْلَةَ آنِيَتُهُ كَعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ تَرِدُهُ طُيُورٌ لَهَا أَعْنَاقٌ كَأَعْنَاقِ الْإِبِلِ قَالَ: يَقُولُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: إنَّهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَنَاعِمَةٌ ؟ قَالَ: آكِلُهَا أَنْعَمُ مِنْهَا قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ﷺ: مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ لَا يَظْمَأُ أَبَدًا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about al-Kawthar, what it is, and he answered: Ibn Isḥāq said: Jaʿfar b. ʿAmr narrated to me — Ibn Hishām said: he is Jaʿfar b. ʿAmr b. Umayyah al-Ḍamrī — from ʿAbd Allāh b. Muslim, the brother of Muḥammad b. Muslim b. Shihāb al-Zuhrī, from Anas b. Mālik, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when it was said to him: O Messenger of Allah, what is al-Kawthar that Allah has given you? He said: A river as wide as the distance between Ṣanʿāʾ and Aylah. Its vessels are as numerous as the stars of the sky. Birds with necks like the necks of camels come down to it. He said: ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb said: They are indeed plump, O Messenger of Allah? He said: Those who eat them are more blessed than they. Ibn Isḥāq said: I have heard in this ḥadīth or another that he ﷺ said: Whoever drinks from it will never thirst again.
