The First to be Resurrected and Special Bounties

Specialities of Nabiย ๏ทบ

The First to be Resurrected and The Pond of Abundance

On the day of Qiyamah, the very first person to be resurrected will be none other than Nabiย ๏ทบ.

The Prophet (๏ทบ) said, “The people will fall unconscious on the Day of Resurrection, then suddenly I will see Moses holding one of the pillars of the Throne.” Abu Huraira RA said: The Prophet (๏ทบ) said, “I will be the first person to be resurrected and will see Moses holding the Throne.” [Bukhari]

Thereafter, one of the other specialities of Nabiย ๏ทบย is that Allah has granted Nabiย ๏ทบย a special pond in Jannah.

O Muhammad, surely We have granted you the Kauthar (countless blessings – it is also the name of a special fountain which will be granted to Prophet Muhammad on the Day of Judgement). [Kawther 108: 1]

In Islamic terminology, al-Kawthar has two meanings:

1.ย ย ย ย ย ย It is a river in Paradise which Allah has given to His Prophetย ๏ทบ. This meaning is what is meant in the above verse.

The Prophetย ๏ทบย said:

ู‚ูŽุงู„ูŽ ุฑูŽุณููˆู„ู ุงู„ู„ู‘ูŽู‡ู ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุณู„ู… โ€”โ€ ุฃูู†ู’ุฒูู„ูŽุชู’ ุนูŽู„ูŽู‰ู‘ูŽ ุขู†ููู‹ุง ุณููˆุฑูŽุฉูŒ โ€”โ€ โ€.โ€ ููŽู‚ูŽุฑูŽุฃูŽ ุจูุณู’ู…ู ุงู„ู„ู‘ูŽู‡ู ุงู„ุฑู‘ูŽุญู’ู…ูŽู†ู ุงู„ุฑู‘ูŽุญููŠู…ู โ€{โ€ ุฅูู†ู‘ูŽุง ุฃูŽุนู’ุทูŽูŠู’ู†ูŽุงูƒูŽ ุงู„ู’ูƒูŽูˆู’ุซูŽุฑูŽ โ€}โ€ ุญูŽุชู‘ูŽู‰ ุฎูŽุชูŽู…ูŽู‡ูŽุง โ€.โ€ ู‚ูŽุงู„ูŽ โ€”โ€ ู‡ูŽู„ู’ ุชูŽุฏู’ุฑููˆู†ูŽ ู…ูŽุง ุงู„ู’ูƒูŽูˆู’ุซูŽุฑู โ€”โ€ โ€.โ€ ู‚ูŽุงู„ููˆุง ุงู„ู„ู‘ูŽู‡ู ูˆูŽุฑูŽุณููˆู„ูู‡ู ุฃูŽุนู’ู„ูŽู…ู โ€.โ€ ู‚ูŽุงู„ูŽ โ€”โ€ ููŽุฅูู†ู‘ูŽู‡ู ู†ูŽู‡ู’ุฑูŒ ูˆูŽุนูŽุฏูŽู†ููŠู‡ู ุฑูŽุจู‘ููŠ ูููŠ ุงู„ู’ุฌูŽู†ู‘ูŽุฉู โ€”โ€

The Messenger of Allah (๏ทบ) said: A surah has just been revealed to me. He then recited:โ€In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. Lo! We have given thee Abundanceโ€ until he finished it. Then he asked: Do you know what Abundance (al-Kawthar) is? They replied: Allah and His Apostle know it better. He said: It is a river of which my Lord, the Exalted, the Majestic has promised me to give in Paradise. [Abu Dawud]

In another Hadith, Nabiย ๏ทบย said:

ู‡ููˆูŽ ู†ูŽู‡ู’ุฑูŒ ูููŠ ุงู„ู’ุฌูŽู†ู‘ูŽุฉู โ€”โ€ โ€.โ€ ู‚ูŽุงู„ูŽ ููŽู‚ูŽุงู„ูŽ ุงู„ู†ู‘ูŽุจููŠู‘ู ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุณู„ู… โ€”โ€ ุฑูŽุฃูŽูŠู’ุชู ู†ูŽู‡ู’ุฑู‹ุง ูููŠ ุงู„ู’ุฌูŽู†ู‘ูŽุฉู ุญูŽุงููŽุชูŽุงู‡ู ู‚ูุจูŽุงุจู ุงู„ู„ู‘ูุคู’ู„ูุคู ู‚ูู„ู’ุชู ู…ูŽุง ู‡ูŽุฐูŽุง ูŠูŽุง ุฌูุจู’ุฑููŠู„ู ู‚ูŽุงู„ูŽ ู‡ูŽุฐูŽุง ุงู„ู’ูƒูŽูˆู’ุซูŽุฑู ุงู„ู‘ูŽุฐููŠ ู‚ูŽุฏู’ ุฃูŽุนู’ุทูŽุงูƒูŽู‡ู ุงู„ู„ู‘ูŽ

โ€œIt is a river in Paradise.โ€ He said: โ€œThe Prophet (๏ทบ) said: โ€˜I saw a river in Paradise, whose banks had tents which were made of pearl. I said: โ€œWhat is this O Jibril?โ€™โ€ He said: โ€œThis is Al-Kauthar which Allah has granted you.โ€ [Tirmidhi]

Nabiย ๏ทบย gave a further description of this river when heย ๏ทบย said:

ู‚ูŽุงู„ูŽ ุฑูŽุณููˆู„ู ุงู„ู„ู‘ูŽู‡ู ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุณู„ู… โ€ “โ€ ุงู„ู’ูƒูŽูˆู’ุซูŽุฑู ู†ูŽู‡ู’ุฑูŒ ูููŠ ุงู„ู’ุฌูŽู†ู‘ูŽุฉู ุญูŽุงูู‘ูŽุชูŽุงู‡ู ู…ูู†ู’ ุฐูŽู‡ูŽุจู ูˆูŽู…ูŽุฌู’ุฑูŽุงู‡ู ุนูŽู„ูŽู‰ ุงู„ุฏู‘ูุฑู‘ู ูˆูŽุงู„ู’ูŠูŽุงู‚ููˆุชู ุชูุฑู’ุจูŽุชูู‡ู ุฃูŽุทู’ูŠูŽุจู ู…ูู†ูŽ ุงู„ู’ู…ูุณู’ูƒู ูˆูŽู…ูŽุงุคูู‡ู ุฃูŽุญู’ู„ูŽู‰ ู…ูู†ูŽ ุงู„ู’ุนูŽุณูŽู„ู ูˆูŽุฃูŽุจู’ูŠูŽุถู ู…ูู†ูŽ ุงู„ุซู‘ูŽู„ู’ุฌู

The Messenger of Allahย ๏ทบย said: โ€œAl-Kauthar is a river in Paradise, whose banks are of gold, and it flows over pearls and corundum. Its dirt is purer than musk, and its water is sweeter than honey and whiter than milk.โ€ [Tirmidhi]

2.ย ย ย ย ย ย It is a great cistern โ€“ a tank for holding water โ€“ which will be set up in the place of gathering on the Day of Resurrection, to which the ummah of Muhammadย ๏ทบย will come.

The water of this cistern will come from the river of al-Kawthar which is in Paradise, hence it is called the Cistern of al-Kawthar. The evidence for that is the hadith narrated by Muslim in his Sahih from Abu Dharr RA, that โ€œinto the Cistern will flow two pipes from Paradise.โ€ The apparent meaning of this hadith is that the Cistern will be next to Paradise so that the water from the river that is inside Paradise will be able to flow into it, as Ibn Hajar said in al-Fath 11/466. And Allah knows best.
