The description of Paradise which the pious have been promised (is that) in it are rivers of water the taste and smell of which are not changed, rivers of milk of which the taste never changes, rivers of wine delicious to those who drink, and rivers of clarified honey (clear and pure) therein for them is every kind of fruit, and forgiveness from their Lord. (Are these) like those who shall dwell for ever in the Fire and be given to drink boiling water so that it cuts up their bowels?
However, i do not know of their names. If no one knows would it be possible for you to share?
In Sahih Muslim the Messenger Sallallahualaihi wasallam mentioned the names of 4 rivers in this world that they are rivers of paradise but they are different than what the ones refered to in the ayah above.

milk honey n alchohol .ayats of quraan mention this. sis is right about euphrate i think its called furat in arabic..n mentioned in hadith that they flow from jannah.......mind u i havnt read for years so best rechecked.
isnt kawthar the fountain which was given to rasul s.a.w that the believers will get in line to drink from the beloved hands of rasul s.a.w and thus be quenched of thirst forever and ever
See Sura Muhammad verse 15
Hadith from Ubada bin Samit(Allah b pleased with him),reporting our Prophet(paece and blessings of Allah b upon him)"Heaven contains a 100 layers. the distance between every 2 layers is as wide as it is between earth and sky.Firdaus is the highest.4 canals of heaven hav come out from it. Allah's throne will b over it.Hence whenever u entreat Allh for Heaven, ehtreat for Firdaus"Tirmidhi
Kauther has indeed been bestowed on Muhammed (sallahu 3alaihi wassallam)It is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey-tirmidhi
c also sura dahr 76:5/6
There is a drink called kafur, which causes peace of mind.
Abu Huraira (Radiallahu Anhu) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Saihan, Jaihan, Euphrates and Nile are all among the rivers of Paradise. [Saheeh Muslim: Book 040, Number 6807]
However, if it is as sis Silver Pearl stated, I do not know the names. And the fourth one in that is a river of water.
Are you going to give us the answer ever?
