Seerat un Nabi [pbuh] سيرت النبی ﷺ Digging of Zamzam well

 Title: Digging of Zam Zam Well

 Ibrahim's (pbuh) son, Ismail (pbuh), had 10 sons. His descendants could not survive in Mecca and spread all over the Hejaz - among the descendants of one of his sons, Qedar, was Adnan. Nazar had four sons. One of them was named Quraish bin Malik was born from the progeny of al-Hadir, who was also called Fahr bin Malik.

Hashim married the daughter of one of the chiefs of Madinah, and a son was born to them. He said to the people, "This is Hashim's son and my nephew. "Yet the people began to call him the slave of Matlab - thus Sheba came to be called Abdul-Muttalib - from him were born Abu Talib Hamza, Abbas, Abdullah, Abul-Lab, Haris, Zubair, Harrar, and Abdul-Rahman - from his son Abdullah was born our Prophet Muhammad.

Hazrat Abdullah was the most beautiful and the most pious of all the sons of Abdul Muttalib. 'Abdullah was ordered to dig the well of Zamzam in a dream.

The chief of Jerahmeh was killed by The people of the Jarham tribe were the chiefs of Mecca at that time. "They were God's servants. They started desecrating the Baitullah - their chief was Majadid bin 'Amr. "He was a good man. He explained to his tribe not to desecrate the House of Allah, but it did not affect them. "When he saw that it had no effect on them, he decided to leave the people to their fate.

Now his name and mark was erased - for a long time this well remained closed, after which the Banu Khaz'a killed the Banu Jarrah from there, "The time of the leadership of Banu Khaz'a and Qa'qa passed in this condition - the well remained closed until the time of Abdul Muttalib came after the Qa'qa.

Hadhrat Abdullah Bin Umar (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "I was at the Hajar Ashhad when a visitor came to me - he said to me," Dig Taiba. "

I asked, "What is the matter?

But he left without saying anything - on the other hand, the same man came again in a dream at night.

I asked him, "What is the matter?

On the third night I was asleep in my bed, and the man came to me in a dream and said, "Dig up the rubbish."

I asked, "What is the matter? "He left without saying anything.

The next night I was in bed again when the same man came back and said, "Zam Zam Khudo," I asked him, "What is Zam Zam? This time he said:

"Zamzam is the water that never runs out, which irrigates large groups of pilgrims.

Abdulhamid said, I asked him.

"Where is this place? 

he said

"Where there is filth and blood, and the crow stumbles"

The next day, Abdul Muttalib went there with his son Haris. They saw there was dirt and blood and a crow was stumbling, there were idols on both sides of the place and this dirt and blood was actually of the animals sacrificed on these idols.

"By Allah, we will not allow you to dig here, you want to dig a well in front of our two idols where we offer sacrifices to them."

Abd al-Muttalib listened to him and said to his son Harith:

"Don't let them come near me. for the work that I have been commanded to do I will definitely do it, "he said.

When the Quraish saw that they were not going to stop, they stopped - finally they started digging - soon the signs of the well began to appear and call out.

"Behold, this is the building of Ishmael.

When the Quraish saw that they had found the well, they came to them and said:

"By Allah, this is the well of our father Ishmael, and we have a right to it."

Upon hearing this, Abdullah said:

"I can't do this alone.

The Quraysh said:

"Then we will talk about it.

Abdullah said:

"Somebody has to decide.

They approved of the ruling of Banu Sa'd ibn Hazim, who lived in the upper part of Syria. Finally, Abd al-Muttalib and the other Quraysh went to him.

While the other tribes were also accompanied by a group of Quraish At that time there was a wilderness between the land of Hijaz and Syria. There wasn't any water. They ran out of water in this field - all the people were thirsty, until they were sure of their death - they asked the other people of Quraish for water, but they refused to give water.

'Abdul-Muttalib got up and came to his ride, and as soon as his ride got up, a spring of water came boiling from under his feet - he saw the water and shouted Allahu Akbar - then 'Abdul-Muttalib came down from the ride - everyone was well-rested and drank water and filled his muscles.

"By Allah, O 'Abdul- Muttalib, it has been decreed for you, and we will never argue with you about the religion. "The one who made you drink water in the wilderness will also make you drink water from heaven, so come back from here."

Thus the Quraish realized that Allah was kind to Abdul-Muttalib, so it was useless to argue with him, and there was no use in going to the Ka'bah.

Back then, Abd al-Muttalib again started digging the well - a little digging would have brought out wealth, wealth, swords and spears - it also contained gold and silver, etc. Seeing this wealth, the people of Quraish became greedy - they said to Abdul Muttalib:

'Abdullah, we too have a part in this.

When Abdul-Muttalib heard this, he said:

"No, you have no part in this. "Come, let us cast lots with the arrows of the five."

They agreed to do so - two arrows were placed in the name of the Ka'bah, two in the name of Abd al-Muttalib and two in the name of the rest of the Quraysh. They did not go out on anything - this is how it was decided - Abdul Muttalib decorated the door of the Ka'bah with gold.

Before the excavation of Zamzam, Abdul Muttalib had prayed: "O Allah, make it easy for me to excavate it, I will slaughter one of my sons in your way." Now when the well was out, they were ordered in a dream.

"Fulfill your vow, that is, kill a son."

This order was given to Abdul Muttalib when he had forgotten his vow - first he was told in a dream "fulfill the vow" he slaughtered a ram and fed it to the poor "then he dreamed "offer a bigger one than this" this time he slaughtered an ox - the same was said in the dream again offer a bigger one - now he slaughtered a camel - then he had a dream offer something bigger than that - he asked "what is bigger than that" then it was said : " Now he remembered his vow - gathered his sons - mentioned the vow to them - all bowed their heads "Who would have himself slaughtered?" Finally Abdullah said. Readmore

The month of Prophethood has dawned

Hazrat Ibn Abbas says: When the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came into this world, his umbilical cord had been cut. {The umbilical cord is cut by the midwife after the baby is born.}

He was born circumcised. Abdul Muttalib was very surprised and happy to see this. He used to say, "My son will be of extraordinary beauty." {Al-Hidayah}

Before his birth, the people of Mecca were suffering from drought and famine. But as the time for his arrival in the world approached, the rains began, and...readmore
