146 - Muḥammad b. Sulaymān al-Asadī narrated to us: Ismāʿīl b. Zakariyyā narrated to us, from Muḥammad b. ʿAwn, from ʿIkrima, from Ibn ʿAbbās regarding His statement: {Indeed, We have granted you al-Kawthar}. He said: "It is a river in Paradise, its depth in the ground is seventy thousand parasangs. Its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. Its two banks are pearls, chrysolite, and rubies. God, Mighty and Majestic, singled out His Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, with it, to the exclusion of the prophets, peace be upon them."
