I have heard some conflicting accounts about the well of ZamZam how it got it’s name and why? A hadith refers to Hz Hajara making a basin of the water and if she had not made it the water would have flooded the Earth. Another account I have heard is that she uttered the words ZamZam which made the water stop flowing. Other accountgs further was that ZamZam was a name given for some characteristic of the water or area it was in.
Please discuss and bring hadith and riwaya’s for this historical event.
ONE TIME PROPHET ABRAHIM A.S. HAD A DREAM THAT SHOWED HIM TO GO TO THE DESERT WITH HIS WIFE AND HAZRAT ISMAEL A.S. WHEN HE WAS A BABY. SO THIS WAS LIKE ALLAH S.W.T WAS TELLING HIM WHAT TO DO. SO THEY GOT UP FROM SLEEP AND SOON HE AND HIS WIFE AND LITTLE BABY ISMAEL A.S. STARTED TO GO ON THE JOURNEY THERE WHEN THEY REACHED SOME POINT HAZRAT ABRAHIM TOLD HIS WIFE TO LOOK AFTER ISMAEL A.S. BECAUSE HE IS GONNA GO ON FOR A WHILE ALONE AND THEN AFTER HE LEFT ISMAEL A.S. STARTED TO CRY BECAUSE HE WAS THIRSTY SO THEN HIS MOTHER WENT TO LOOK EVERYWHERE FOR WATER BUT COULDNT FIND IT SO WHEN SHE RETURNED TO THE BABY SHE SAW HAZRAT JIBRAEEL A.S. STANDING NEXT TO THE BABY AND WITH HIS ANKLE/FOOT DIGGING A WELL AND THEN HE SAID THAT THIS IS HOLY WATER AND DRINK FROM IT AND GIVE IT TO UR SON AND THERE WAS INDEED ALOT ANS WHOEVER WAS THIRSTY WOULD DRINK FROM IT SO U SEE IT SPECIAL WATER AND ZAM ZAM MEANS SWEET WATER AND HOLY.... AND THIS IS WHAT IVE HEARD
