ZAM ZAM WATER

Assalamualaikum....

What are the benefits of Zamzam water?

Praise be to Allah...

The water Zamzam is water of great virtue which first sprang forth when Jibreel (peace be upon him) struck (the earth) with his wing (Saheeh al-Bukhaari, 3364). Allah provided water for Ismail (peace be upon him) and his mother with it. The heart of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was washed with ZamZam water.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 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).

It was reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) drank it, did wudoo' with it and poured it on his head. He used to carry Zamzam water in small vessels and large container in order to pour it on the sick and given it to them to drink. (al-Silsilat al-Saheehah, 883).

One of theSahaabah said: we used to call it al-Shabbaa'ah (satisfying) and it helped us to take care our families (i,e. it was filling and helped them to do without food, it was also sufficient to nourish children). (al-Silsilat al-Saheehah li'l-Albaani,2685).

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): " The water of Zamzam isfor whatever it is drunk for " (Narrated by Ibn Maajah,3062; this is a Hassan hadith. Scholars and righteous people have experienced this- they have drunk it with the intention of fulfilling some need such as healing from sickness or being freed from poverty and distress, and Allah fulfilled these hopes).

And Allah knows best..
