Arabic text

2964 - أَخْبَرَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَاصِمٌ، وَمُغِيرَةُ، ح وَأَنْبَأَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَاصِمٌ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، شَرِبَ مِنْ مَاءِ زَمْزَمَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ»

Commentary

The Zamzam water is blessed water, which is distinctly different from every other water found on the Earth. It possesses nourishing food, and is a cure for illness. Rather, it suffices with whatever intention or purpose one drinks it. Therefore, it should be drunk considering it a blessing. To carry it home while returning is also a Sunnah.
