On its right bank is a white pearl in which are a thousand castles. In each of the castles are a thousand castles for Muhammad ﷺ and the Progeny (a.s) of Muhammad ﷺ. And upon its left bank is a yellow pearl, in which are a thousand castles. In each of the castles for Ibrahim (a.s) and the Progeny (a.s) of Ibrahim (a.s)’.
