Q
What significance does the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) attribute to the Tank-lake (Al-Kauthar) in his teachings?
A
The Prophet (ﷺ) went out and offered the funeral prayer for the martyrs of the (battle of) Uhud and then
ascended the pulpit and said, “I am your predecessor and I am a witness against you. By Allah, I am
now looking at my Tank-lake (Al-Kauthar) and I have been given the keys of the treasures of the earth
(or the keys of the earth). By Allah! I am not afraid that after me you will worship others besides
Allah, but I am afraid that you will start competing for (the pleasures of) this world.”
