Our Prophet said that he asked for his nation certain things in both Religion and in worldly affairs and that some were granted and others withheld. He hoards this supplication for the Day of Poverty, the Seal of all Afflictions, the time of unanswerable questions and unquenched desires.
May Allah shower him with a repayment better than any other prophet has been repaid by his nation. May Allah praise him and grant him perfect peace continuously, abundantly and increasingly now and throughout all eternity.
The Favoring of Prophet Muhammad in Paradise with the Intercession, High Rank, His Excellence, and the River of Abundance (Kawthar)
Abdullah, Amr's son heard the Prophet say, "When you hear the call to prayer repeat what he says and ask for blessings upon me. Whosoever asks for blessings upon me once, Allah will bless him tenfold. Then ask Allah to give me the position of intermediary (wasila) that is a station in Paradise for only one recipient of the worshipers of Allah, and it is my hope that I will be that one. Whosoever asks Allah by this supplication will receive my intercession."
Abu Hurayrah reported having heard that the rank of intermediary (wasila) is the highest degree in Paradise.
We are given a glimpse of the River of Paradise in a report by Anas who tells us that the Prophet said, "When I was traveling through the Paradise, a river appeared before me. Its banks were domes of pearls. I asked Gabriel, 'What is this?' He replied, 'This is Kawthar which Allah has given you.' Then he struck the river bed with his hand and brought forth musk."
Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, reported something similar with the addition, "It flows over pearls and rubies, and its water is sweeter than honey and whiter than snow." We are also told, "It does not carve out a river bed as it flows, and there is a pool to which my nation will come."
Abbas' son narrates a similar quotation to which is added, "Kawthar is the abundance of good given to him (Prophet Muhammad ) by Allah."
