أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنِ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ
بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِذْ أَغْفَى إِغْفَاءَةً ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مُتَبَسِّمًا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا أَضْحَكَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيَّ آنِفًا سُورَةٌ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ {إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الْأَبْتَرُ} [الكوثر 2] ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْكَوْثَرُ؟» قُلْنَا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ نَهْرٌ وَعَدَنِيهِ رَبِّي فِي الْجَنَّةِ آنِيَتُهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ عَدَدِ الْكَوَاكِبِ تَرِدُهُ عَلَيَّ أُمَّتِي فَيُخْتَلَجُ الْعَبْدُ مِنْهُمْ فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّهُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي فَيَقُولُ إِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثَ بَعْدَكَ

✧ While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was among us in the mosque one day, he dozed off, then raised his head smiling. I said to him, “What makes you laugh, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “A sūrah was just revealed to me: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful: ‘Indeed, We have granted you al-Kawthar. So pray to your Lord and sacrifice. Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off’ [al-Kawthar:1–3]. Then he said, ‘Do you know what al-Kawthar is?’ We said, ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said, ‘It is a river that my Lord promised me in Paradise. Its vessels are more numerous than the stars. My nation will come to it, and a servant among them will be snatched away. I will say, “O Lord, he is of my nation.” He will say, “You do not know what he introduced after you.”’”
