Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: When «﴿إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ﴾» was revealed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is a river in Paradise whose banks are made of gold, it flows over pearls and rubies, its soil is more fragrant than musk, its taste is sweeter than honey, and its water is whiter (and clearer) than snow."
