It is narrated from Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him), the servant of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I will be present at the edge of my reservoir, pushing people back so that the people of Yemen may come near and drink water easily. I will wave my staff over the people. He was asked about the width of the reservoir of Kawthar, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Its width will be equal to the distance from my place here to Oman. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the nature of its drink, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It will be whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. Two streams from Paradise will flow into it, one of gold and the other of silver.
