Al-Hawdh (the Cistern)


The Hawdh of Prophet Muhammad is a vast cistern – may Allah make us amongst those who drink from it. Its width and length are equivalent to a month (journey). The number and beauty of its vessels are like the stars of the sky. Its water is whiter than milk, sweeter than honey and (its fragrance is) better than the fragrance of musk. 

He, who drinks from this Hawdh will never ever feel thirsty. The water of the Hawdh extends from al-Kawthar which is a river given to the Prophet in Paradise from where two channels flow into the Hawdh. The Hawdh will always remain full and the believers will come to it and drink from it. This Hawdh will be at the place of gathering on the Day of Judgment when the people will be grieved and trouble due to heat and fatigue. So, they will drink from it and never ever feel thirsty.
