According to Muslim scholars, the water of Zamzam flowed from the ground when Ishmael rubbed his foot as an infant, leading to the prosperity of [[Mecca]]. He assisted his father Abraham in rebuilding and purifying the [[Ka'ba|kaba]] and, in addition to being the custodian of the Ka'ba, performed the Hajj rituals every year. He is buried in [[Hijr Isma'il]] next to his mother [[Hagar]]'s tomb.
