Saqi-i-Kauser

Prophet Mohammad has been called Saqi-i-Kauser which implies that he would be the saqi to offer a drink from the two lakes of the heaven called Kauser and Tasneem. This offering would be a gesture of welcome to those entering the heaven. Commentators of the Quran have written that the water of these two lakes would be colder than ice, sweeter than honey, and whiter than milk. In certain narratives Hazrat Ali has also been called Saqi-i-Kauser.
