Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ { إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ } قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُعْطِيتُ الْكَوْثَرَ فَإِذَا هُوَ نَهَرٌ يَجْرِي وَلَمْ يُشَقَّ شَقًّا فَإِذَا حَافَتَاهُ قِبَابُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ فَضَرَبْتُ بِيَدِي إِلَى تُرْبَتِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ مِسْكَةٌ ذَفِرَةٌ وَإِذَا حَصَاهُ اللُّؤْلُؤُ.

'Affan narrated to us, Hammad narrated to us, Thabit informed us, from Anas ibn Malik: that he recited this verse, "Indeed, We have given you al-Kawthar," and said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "I was given al-Kawthar, and it is a flowing river, not carved out by digging, and its two banks are domes of pearl. I struck my hand into its soil, and it was fragrant musk, and its pebbles were pearls."
