32. Zamzam

The fountain of Zamzam is the heritage of Prophet Isma'eel and his mother, Hajar. 

It contains both blessings and health. The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:
"Zamzam water is for whatever (purpose) one drinks it."

And he salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam also said:
"It satisfies as food and cure illness." 

While drinking from the well of Zamzam, 'Abdullah bin Mubarak said, "O Allah, I drink this water to quench the thirst thirst of the Day of Judgement." And Abu Dhurral-Ghifuri  lived on Zamzam for a whole month.

The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam drank Zamzam water while standing, but this does not mean that a person who is sitting should get up to do so, because there is no command in this regard. 

'Abdullah bin Abbas used to tell the people to drink Zamzam in three breaths, saying, "Bismillah" at the beginning and facing the Ka'bah. 

He also used to supplicate after drinking Zamzam, "O Allah,I ask for beneficial knowledge, abundant provision, and healing for all disease." 

For those who wish to do so it is permissible to take Zamzam water home as a gift.

It is known that many pilgrims soak a shroud in Zamzam water because it is belief that burial shrouds soaked in Zamzam can lead to their salvation.

This is an absolutely erroneous belief and has no validity. There is no narration of the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, any of his companions, or any learned  scholar to support such an innovation. 

For Indeed, nothing else will be of use in the Hereafter if one is lacking proper faith and actions in this life.
