Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لَمَّا عُرِجَ بِالنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى السَّمَاءِ قَالَ " أَتَيْتُ عَلَى نَهَرٍ حَافَتَاهُ قِبَابُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ مُجَوَّفًا فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا يَا جِبْرِيلُ قَالَ هَذَا الْكَوْثَرُ ".
Translation
Adam related to us; Shayban related to us; Qatada related to us, from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was taken up to heaven, he said, ‘I came upon a river whose banks had hollow pearl domes. I said, “What is this, Gabriel?” He replied, “This is al-Kawthar.”’
