مُسْنَدُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 95
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “I entered Paradise, and there I was at a river whose two banks were tents of pearl. I struck my hand into the channel through which the water was flowing, and behold, it was musk of the sharpest fragrance. I said, ‘What is this, O Jibrīl?’ He said, ‘This is al-Kawthar, which Allah has given you.’”

Musnad Aḥmad 95
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِنَهْرٍ حَافَتَاهُ خِيَامُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ، فَضَرَبْتُ بِيَدِي إِلَى مَا يَجْرِي فِيهِ الْمَاءُ، فَإِذَا مِسْكٌ أَذْفَرُ، قُلْتُ: مَا هَذَا يَا جِبْرِيلُ؟ قَالَ: هَذَا الْكَوْثَرُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَهُ اللهُ».

its isnād sound according to the conditions of al-Bukhārī and Muslim.
Chain: Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿAdī → Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl → Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) → the Prophet ﷺ.
Rijāl: (1) Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Abī ʿAdī al-Sulamī al-Baṣrī (d. 194 AH): thiqa. (2) Ḥumayd ibn Abī Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl al-Baṣrī (d. 142 AH): thiqa, though he engaged in tadlīs and a portion of what he relates from Anas he took by way of Thābit al-Bunānī; the corroborating routes below remove the concern here. (3) Anas ibn Mālik ibn al-Naḍr al-Anṣārī (d. 93 AH): Companion, servant of the Prophet ﷺ for ten years.
Takhrīj: Musnad Aḥmad, vol. 3, p. 103. The same report is transmitted in the Musnad through Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd al-Qaṭṭān from Ḥumayd from Anas (Risāla ed. no. 12151), and its substance is well established in the Ṣaḥīḥayn from Anas among the reports on al-Kawthar. Al-Kawthar is the river granted to the Prophet ﷺ in Paradise, mentioned in Sūrat al-Kawthar (108:1); the majority of the exegetes identify it with the river described here, from which the Prophet’s ﷺ Basin (al-Ḥawḍ) is fed on the Day of Resurrection. Misk adhfar denotes musk of the most penetrating fragrance.
