وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ شُرَحْبِيلَ، عَنِ اللَّيْثِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ، قَالَ: قَالَ كَعْبٌ:
نَهَرُ النِّيلِ نَهَرُ الْعَسَلِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَنَهَرُ دِجْلَةَ نَهَرُ اللَّبَنِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَنَهَرُ الْفُرَاتِ نَهَرُ الْخَمْرِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَنَهَرُ سَيْحَانَ نَهَرُ الْمَاءِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، قَالَ: فَأَطْفَأَ اللهُ تَعَالَى نُورَهُنَّ لِيُصَيِّرَهُنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ
