@Hadithoftheday Ismail A.S.
When Hajar eventually ran out of food & water & could no longer breastfeed Ismail, She ran back & forth seven times between Safa & Marwa hoping to find water. Allah then sent Jibrael o their aid and a spring of water appeared from the ground at the feet of Ismail A.S

@Hadithoftheday The well was named Zamzam and the journey back and forth Safa and Marwa became a ritual during Hajj and Umrah.

Hajar A.S ran for water for her small child thousands year ago, Allah loved this act so much that he made billions since then to run same way

@Hadithoftheday In those days there was none in Mecca, neither there was any water. Ibraheem A.S left Hajar and Ismail A.S there, and left with them a leather bag containing some dates, and a water-skin containing some water. Hagar continued suckling Ismail AS and drinking from that water. +

@Hadithoftheday When all the water in the water skin got used up, Hajar A.S as well her son became thirsty. She started looking at him tossing in agony. She left him, for she could not look at him anymore. She found that the Safa was the nearest mountain for her to climb up and look for help. +

@Hadithoftheday When all the water in the water skin got used up, she as well her son became thirsty. She started looking at him tossing in agony. She left him, for she could not look at him anymore. She found that the Safa was the nearest mountain for her to climb up and look for help. +

@Hadithoftheday Hajar stood on it and looked around it. But she could see no one. She descended form Safa, and when she reached the bottom of the valley, she tucked up her robe and ran in the valley like a person in distress and trouble. +.

@Hadithoftheday She ran till she crossed the valley and reached another mountain called Marwah where she stood on it and started looking around in the hope that she might find someone. But she could not find anyone.

@Hadithoftheday Then she climbed on Safa and looked and looked, but could not see anyone until she had completed 7 rounds. She repeated this act 7 times.
When she reached Marwah, she heard a voice and became quiet. +

@Hadithoftheday Then she listened and heard it again, and said “You who have made me hear your voice – do you have any help to offer me?”
Then she saw Jibrael A.S at the site of Zamzam. And he dug with his heel (or wing) until the water gushed forth. +

@Hadithoftheday And she began to make a trough around it, using her hands, and began scooping up the water into her waterskin. Each time after she cooped up the water with her hand, the water would gush out.

@Hadithoftheday Ibn Abbas R.A narrated Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as saying, “May Allah have mercy upon Umm Ismail. If she had left it without trying to control I, or if she had not scooped up the water of Zamzam, Zamzam would have been a spring flowing above the ground.”

@Hadithoftheday Then Hajar drank and suckled her son. Then Jibrael A.S said to her, “Do not be afraid of perishing, indeed this is the site of the House of Allah, which will be built by this boy and his father, in deed Allah does not let his people perish.”
