3061. It was narrated that Muhammad bin 'Abdur-Rahmân bin Abu Bakr said: "I was sitting with Ibn 'Abbâs, and a man came to him and he said: 'Where have you come from?' He said: 'From Zamzam.' He said: 'Did you drink from it as you should?' He said: 'How is that?' He said: 'When you drink from it, turn to face the Qiblah and mention the Name of Allāh, drink three draughts and drink your fill of it. When you have finished, then praise Allāh.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'The sign (that differentiates) between us and the hypocrites is that they do not drink their fill from Zamzam." (Hasan)

Arabic text

3061 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ جَالِسًا، فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتَ؟ قَالَ: مِنْ زَمْزَمَ، قَالَ: فَشَرِبْتَ مِنْهَا، كَمَا يَنْبَغِي؟ قَالَ: وَكَيْفَ؟ قَالَ: إِذَا شَرِبْتَ مِنْهَا، فَاسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ، وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ، وَتَنَفَّسْ ثَلَاثًا، وَتَضَلَّعْ مِنْهَا، فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ، فَاحْمَدِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ آيَةَ مَا بَيْنَنَا، وَبَيْنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ، إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَتَضَلَّعُونَ، مِنْ زَمْزَمَ»

Commentary

Zamzam water is blessed; it should be drunk for blessings. Zamzam should be drunk having a good intention. One should take Zamzam water to his country. (Jāmi' At-Tirmidhi: 963)
