أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنِ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ
بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا إِذْ أَغْفَى إِغْفَاءَةً ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مُتَبَسِّمًا قُلْنَا 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 ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْكَوْثَرُ؟» قُلْنَا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ نَهَرٌ وَعَدَنِيهِ رَبِّي فِي الْجَنَّةِ آنِيَتُهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ عَدَدِ الْكَوَاكِبِ تَرِدْهُ عَلَيَّ أُمَّتِي فَيُخْتَلَجُ الْعَبْدُ مِنْهُمْ فَأَقُولُ يا رَبِّ إِنَّهُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي فَيَقُولُ إِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثَ بَعْدَكَ

✧ While the Prophet ﷺ was one day among us, he dozed off, then raised his head smiling. We said to him, "What makes you smile, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "A surah 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.'" Then he said, "Do you know what al-Kawthar is?" We said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "It is a river my Lord promised me in Paradise. Its vessels are more numerous than the stars. My ummah will come to me at it, but a servant among them will be snatched away. I will say, 'O Lord, he is from my ummah.' He will say, 'You do not know what he introduced after you.'"
