Is the Hawd (Basin) of Al-Kawthar before or after the Sirat (Bridge over Hellfire)? And if it is after it and supplied by two rivers from Paradise, then how will those who innovated after the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, be driven away from it?

Al-Kawthar is a river in Paradise from which its inhabitants will drink after entering it. As for the Basin (Al-Hawd), the believers will come to it before the Sirat (Bridge), and those who altered and innovated after the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, will be driven away from it.
