The water of Zamzam is for whatever it is drunk for

ZAM-ZAM Water is a refreshing, sweet, pleasant tasting, easy digestible, boundlessly blessed, virtuous and honourable water. It enjoys such blessings and virtues, which no other water can be compared to

The water of Zam- Zam has a cure for all ailments.  It was a water which had Shifaa (cure)

the name ‘Zam-Zam’ was given owing to the excessiveness and large quantity of the water, because the words: ‘Zam-Zam’,’Zam-Zoom’ and ‘Zamaa-Zim’ are said at the time of excessive water

history of zam zam water

when the Prophet Ebrahim (alaihi salaam) was ordered by Allaah to leave his chaste wife, Haajira (alaiha salaam) and his baby,  Ismaeel (alaihi salaam) in the desert of Arabia, with no friend or helper, then the answer to the sustenance of life for this ‘forlom’ mother and son was given within a few days. The innocent child was striking his heels upon the ground due to severe thirst. The mother was also becoming restless due to the lack of water, and she ran up one mountain, and down again and ascended the other mountain, in search of water, boping to find something to sustain the life of her child

The angel Jibraeel (alaihi salaam) made an appearance. With a strike of his heels, or an indication of his hands, or his wings, a spring started flowing

As soon as the water was sighted, Haajira was overtaken with joy. Her sadness and despondency was immediately removed and replaced by sheer joy. She quenched her own thirst and that of her child. She filled a container with the water and built a sand wall around the spring in order to dam it up

The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said that, had Haajira (alaiha salaam) not done this, this water would have become like a sea rather than a spring, and it would have saturated the entire earth

about this water he said

 

“The best water on the face of the earth is the water of Zamzam; it is a kind of food and a healing from sickness.” (Saheeh al-Jaami’, 3302)

He also said

“The water of Zamzam is for whatever it is drunk for.” (Narrated by Ibn Maajah)

In an other saying, The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said

” The most sublime of all earthly waters is that of zamzam; therein one finds food for the hungry and medicine for the ill.”[ At- Tabarani ]

In an other one he said 

“Zamzam water is what one intends to drink it for. When one drinks it to be healed, Allah heals him; when one drinks it to be full, Allah makes him full; and when one drinks it to quench his thirst, Allah quenches it. ” [ Ahmad, and Ibn Majah]

the water of Zam-Zam has countless of virtues and it is extremely pure and clean. It is the most blessed and purest of all waters on earth.Its position is upon the most blessed place on earth, near the Kaaba Shareef and within the Haram.


The scholars and the righteous drank from it with the intention of fulfilling their needs and seeking cure for the sick or relief from poverty and surely Allah eased for them achieving their needs.

It is reported from Jaabir (radhiayallahu anhu) that Rasullullah The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: “That person who has completed seven Tawaafs of the Kaaba Shareef, then he performs 2 Rakaats Salaat behind the Maqaam-e-Ebrahim, and he has a drink of the water of Zam-Zam, all his sins will be forgiven.” (Tafseer Waahidi]

The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: “The stomach of a believer is satiated with the water of Zam-Zam, and the stomach of a Munaafiq is not satiated.” It is as though this is a sign of hypocrisy
