Question:
From the Prophet’s city, the questioner, the good Sulayman, says: It is reported in an athar from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): “Al-Kawthar is a river in Paradise, so whoever loves to hear its gurgling, let him put his two fingers in his ears.” What is the authenticity of this athar, Your Eminence?
Answer:
I do not know of any basis for this athar. Al-Kawthar is a river in Paradise, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ [الكوثر:1] نهر في الجنة Indeed, We have given you al-Kawthar [Surat al-Kawthar:1], a river in Paradise, but this athar in which one puts his fingers in his ears to hear its gurgling has no basis; I do not know of any basis for it.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
