It
is the best water on earth. It is also the most ancient water on earth
because it was discovered about five thousand years ago. According to
laboratory analysis, it is the most pure water on earth. Moreover, it
functions as food and as a cure for diseases as mentioned by the
Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his
mention ). In addition, it is found in the most sacred place on earth.
Is there any other source of water on earth that can rival its virtues?
The
existence of water in this barren valley was an honor that Allaah The
Almighty bestowed upon Ismaa‘eel (Ishmael) may Allaah exalt his
mention and his mother Haajar (Hagar), may Allaah exalt their mention,
and for everyone who inhabits or visits this blessed City of Makkah.
This water is a reason for the prosperity and life of Makkah and one of
the manifest signs in the Holy Sanctuary.
The
well of Zamzam was once near the Ka'bah and visible over the ground for
it is only about 21 meters away from the Ka'bah. When the numbers of
people making Tawaaf (circumambulation) increased, there was a necessity
to expand the path of Tawaaf. Hence, the well became underground,
accessible through a basement under the path of Tawaaf and people used
to go into and out of it. Recently this basement was closed and faucets
where people can drink Zamzam water were set up out of the Tawaaf path.
Some virtues of Zamzam water are mentioned in the following Hadeeths
(narrations):
·
The Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his
mention ), said about the water of Zamzam: "It is blessed, and it serves
as food."
· “The Best water on earth is the water of Zamzam. It serves as food and heals from illness.”
·
Jaabir may Allaah be pleased with him said that the Prophet,
sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ),
said: “The water of Zamzam is for whatever purpose it is drunk for.”
[Ahmad, Ibn Maajah and Al-Bayhaqi: Hasan]
According
to the Sunnah (Prophetic tradition), one should say “Bismillaah (in the
Name of Allaah)” before drinking, “Al-Hamdulillaah (Praise be to
Allaah)” after drinking, taking breath three times outside the utensil
while drinking, drinking to one’s fill and supplicating Allaah The
Almighty for the good of the worldly life and the Hereafter.
These
are some Hadeeths about the virtue of Zamzam clarifying its goodness
and blessings. So, dear pilgrim, be keen on drinking to your fill from
Zamzam water and to supplicate Allaah The Almighty with whatever
goodness that you wish for in the worldly life and the Hereafter.
