The Blessings of Zamzam Water

“Verily, the first House (of worship) appointed
for mankind was that at Bakkah (Makkah), full
of blessing, and guidance for the entire
creation Al-Aalameen. In it are manifest signs
the Maqaam of Ibrahim (Standing place of
Abraham); whosoever enters it, he attains
security…”
(Quran 3:96-97)
“O our Lord! I have made some of my
offspring to dwell in an uncultivable valley by
Your Sacred House (Kabah in Makkah), O our
Lord, so that they may perform Salah. So fill
some hearts among men with love towards
them, and O Allah provide them with fruits so
that they may give thanks.”
(Quran 14:37)
Abdulah Ibn Abbaas (radiyallahu ta’ala
‘anhu) narrated that the Prophet (salallahu
alayhi wasallam) said: “May Allah bestow his
mercy upon Hajar, the mother of Ismail, had
she let go of the water of Zamzam it would
have become a flowing spring on the face of
the earth (rather than a well) whose water
shall never dry.” (Ahmad)
Ibn ‘Abbaas (radiyallahu ta’ala ‘anhu)
narrated that the Prophet (salallahu alayhi
wasallam) said: “One difference between us
and the hypocrites is that they could not drink
much from Zamzam.”
(Ibn Majah)
Ibn ‘Abbaas (radiyallahu ta’ala ‘anhu)
narrates that he gave the Prophet (salallahu
alayhi wasallam) the water of Zamzam and
the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wasallam) drank
the water of Zamzam whilst standing.
(Bukhari)
The Prophet (salallahu alayhi wasallam) said
to Abu Dhar (radiyallahu ta’ala ‘anhu) who
had stayed near the Kabah and its coverings
for forty days and nights with no food or drink
other than Zamzam, “How long have you been
here? “Abu Dharr (radiyallahu ta’ala ‘anhu)
said: “I have been here for thirty days and
nights.” The Prophet (salallahu alayhi
wasallam) said, “Who has been feeding you?
”He said, “I have had nothing but Zamzam
water, and I have become so fat that I have
folds of fat on my stomach. I do not feel any
of the tiredness or weakness of hunger and I
have not become thin.” The Prophet (salallahu
alayhi wasallam) said: “Verily, it is blessed, it
is food that nourishes.”
(Muslim) ”
Jabir bin Abdullah (radiyallahu ta’ala ‘anhu)
narrates that the Prophet (salallahu alayhi
wasallam) said: “The water of Zamzam is for
whatever it is drunk for.”
