We saw a river on the side of it which was of water whiter than snow, and on the side of that one was a river of milk whiter than snow, and in the midst of it was a river of wine better than sapphire, and I had not seen anything more beautiful than the wine which was between the milk and the water.

I said to him -asws , ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws , from where do these fountains flow from and what are their courses?’ He -asws said: ‘These fountains are the ones Mentioned by Allah -azwj in His -azwj Book as being rivers in the Paradise, the fountain of water, and fountain of milk, and fountain of wine, flowing in this river. And saw its river banks some trees, in which were Houries with dangling hair.

I had not seen anything more beautiful than them, and in their hands were utensils more beautiful than which I had never seen before, and these were not utensils from the world. He -asws gestured by his -asws hand to someone to quench his -asws thirst. I looked at her, and she leaned to scoop the water from the river. The tree leaned with her. She scooped the water and presented it to him -asws . He -asws drank. He -asws gestured with his -asws hand to fetch more water.

She leaned forward to scoop it and the tree leaned with her. Then she presented it to me. I drank from it. I had not seen a drink softer than it, and its aroma was the aroma of the musk. I looked in the cup and in it were three kinds of drinks. I said to him -asws , ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws , I have not seen a day like this at all, and I never thought that a matter like this can happen’. He -asws said to me: ‘This is only a little of what Allah -azwj has Promised for our -asws Shiites.

When a momin passes away, his Ruh comes to this river, and dwells in its gardens, and drinks from its drinks, and when our -asws enemy dies, his Ruh goes to the valley of Barhoot , and gets indulges in its punishments, and gets fed from its Zaqqoom trees, and gets quenched for its Hameem . You should seek refuge in Allah -azwj from that valley ’.
