Musnad Ahmad Hadith 3764

The two sons of Mulaikah came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: Our mother honoured her husband, was kind to her children - and he mentioned guests - but she had buried an infant alive during the Jahiliyyah. He said: “Your mother is in the Fire.” They turned away, looking upset. Then he ordered that they be called back, so they came back looking happy and hoping that something had happened. He said: "My mother is with your mother.” One of the hypocrites said: This man cannot even help his mother yet we are following in his footsteps. One of the Ansar - and I never saw any man ask more questions than him - said: O Messenger of Allah has your Lord made you any promise concerning her or concerning them (your parents)? He said. He thought that (this man) based it on something he heard. He said: "I did not ask my Lord, and He did not promise me anything concerning that, even though I will stand in the station of praise and glory (al-maqamul-mahmood) on the Day of Resurrection." The Ansari said: What is that station of praise and glory? He said: "That will be when you are brought, naked, barefoot and uncircumcised. The first one to be clothed will be Ibraheem. It will be said: 'Clothe My close friend.’ And he will be given two white garments and will put them on, then he will sit facing the Throne. Then I will be given my garment and I will put it on, then I will stand on his right, in a position where no one will stand but me, and the first and the last will envy me for it." He said: "Then a channel will be opened up from al-Kawthar to the Cistern.” The hypocrites said: Water could only flow on mud or small pebbles. He said: O Messenger of Allah, will it flow on mud or small pebbles? He said: "Its mud is musk and its small pebbles are pearls." The hypocrite said: I have never heard anything like today; water hardly ever flows over mud or small pebbles but it must have some vegetation. The Ansari said: O Messenger of Allah, will it have any vegetation? He said: "Yes, reeds of gold.” The hypocrite said I have never heard anything like today, Reeds hardly ever grow but they have leaves and fruit. The Ansari said: O Messenger of Allah, will it have fruit? He said: “Yes; different kinds of gems, and its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. Whoever drinks one draught from it will never thirst after that, and if he is deprived of it, his thirst will never be quenched.”
