May Allah curse those people who have reneged from the covenant with me about him, and forgotten my parting counsel about him; and they have no share (of blessings) from Allah." The meaning of 'Al-Kawthar' He said: Abul Hasan ‘Ali ibn Bilal al-Mahlabi, reported to me from Abu al-Abbas Ahmad ibn al-Hasan al-Baghdadi, who reported from Muhammad ibn Ismail, who reported from Muhammad ibn al-Swalt, who reported from Abu Kudainah, from Ata, from Saeed ibn Jubair, from Abdullah Ibn al-Abbas, who said: When the verse: 'We have surely blessed you with abundance' (Kauthar-108:1) was revealed to the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him, asked him: "O messenger of Allah, what is al-Kauthar?" He said: "It is a stream with which Allah has honoured me." Then ‘Ali, peace be upon him, said: "O messenger of Allah, describe for us this sacred stream." He said: "Yes, O ‘Ali, al-Kauthar is a stream that flows under the Throne of Allah, Most High.

Its water is whiter than milk, sweeter than honey, softer than cream. Its pebbles are of aquamarine, ruby and coral.

Its weeds are saffron, its dust is sweet smelling musk, and its basins are under the Throne of Allah, Most High!" Then the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, struck his hand on Amirul Mu’mineen's side and said: "O ‘Ali, this stream is for me and you, and for those who love you after I have gone." ‘Ali at Qudaid He said: Abul Hasan ‘Ali ibn Muhammad al-Katib reported to me from al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Abdul Karim al-Za'farani, who reported from Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Thaqafi, who reported from Ismail ibn Aban, who reported from Amru ibn Shimr, who said: I heard Jabir ibn Yazid reporting from Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn ‘Ali, peace be upon him, who reported from his father, and from his grandfather, peace be upon them all, that when Amirul Mu’mineen, peace be upon him, left Madinah for Basrah to confront the renegades, he stopped at al-Rabdhah.

And then as he left from there, he was met by Abdullah ibn Khalifa al-Taee, at a place called Qudaid. Amirul Mu’mineen, peace be upon him, welcomed him. Then Abdullah said:"Praise be to Allah who restored the right to its owner and kept it in its rightful place, regardless of whether some people were pleased or displeased. By Allah, they had hated Muhammad, peace be upon him and his progeny, resisting and fighting against him.

But Allah turned their guile against them, and made the disaster to befall them.
