Rivers of Paradise

SUMMARY: The Prophet (s.a.w) described the rivers of Paradise as being filled with water, honey, milk and wine.

Hakim bin Mu'awiyah narrated from his father, that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "Indeed in Paradise there is a sea of water, and a sea of honey,and a sea of milk, and a sea of wine, then the rivers shall split off afterwards".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ بَحْرَ الْمَاءِ وَبَحْرَ الْعَسَلِ وَبَحْرَ اللَّبَنِ وَبَحْرَ الْخَمْرِ ثُمَّ تُشَقَّقُ الأَنْهَارُ بَعْدُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَحَكِيمُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ هُوَ وَالِدُ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ وَالْجُرَيْرِيُّ يُكْنَى أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ وَاسْمُهُ سَعِيدُ بْنُ إِيَاسٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ described the rivers of Paradise as being filled with four different types of liquids; water, honey, milk and wine. This is a beautiful description that gives us an insight into what life in paradise will be like for those who are fortunate enough to enter it. Water is essential for life and so it makes sense that there would be a sea of it in paradise to quench our thirst after a long journey or hard work. Honey is known for its healing properties and so having a sea full of it implies that we will never have any illnesses or diseases in paradise which can only be seen as a blessing from Allah ï·» . Milk has always been seen as something special due to its nutritional value and so having an abundance of it implies that we will never go hungry or lack energy in paradise again another blessing from Allah ï·» . Lastly, wine has always been associated with joyous occasions such as weddings etc., therefore having an abundance of this too implies that we will never experience sadness or sorrow again but rather only joyous moments throughout eternity - yet another blessing from Allah ï·» .
