Thabit reports: Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) recited this verse: "Indeed, We have granted you al-Kawthar." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Al-Kawthar is a river in Paradise which flows on the surface of Paradise, and on its banks are tents made of pearls. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I struck my hand (on its soil), and the fragrance of the soil of Paradise was like musk, and its pebbles were like pearls."
