حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ
سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا الْكَوْثَرُ قَالَ ذَاكَ نَهْرٌ أَعْطَانِيهِ اللَّهُ يَعْنِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ فِيهَا طَيْرٌ أَعْنَاقُهَا كَأَعْنَاقِ الْجُزُرِ قَالَ عُمَرُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَنَاعِمَةٌ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَكَلَتُهَا أَنْعَمُ مِنْهَا

'Umar said: "Indeed this is plump and luxurious then." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Those who consume it are more plumb than it."
