'''Zamzam''' (Arabic {{ia|زَمزَم}}) refers to the most renowned water well located within the [[al-Masjid al-Haram]] in [[Mecca]], situated approximately 21 meters from the sacred Black Stone ([[al-Hajar al-Aswad]]). According to historical accounts, the Zamzam spring emerged miraculously by divine will to provide water for [[Isma'il]] (a) and his mother, [[Hajar]]. The origin of the city of [[Mecca]] and the reconstruction of the [[Ka'ba]] are believed to be closely linked to the miraculous emergence of the Zamzam spring.

For centuries, the inhabitants of Mecca depended on the Zamzam well for their water supply. However, over time, the well's presence diminished, and it eventually became obscured. After a long time, the responsibility of [[siqaya]] (water provision) for the Ka'ba reached [['Abd al-Muttalib]], the grandfather of the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]], and the Zamzam well was dug by him, and its water gushed forth once again.

According to verse 37 of Surah Ibrahim, after ~~Prophet~~ [[Abraham (a)]] brought his wife Hajar and his son [[Isma'il]] to the arid land of [[Mecca]], where there was no water or vegetation,<ref>Sūra Ibrāhīm, verse 37.</ref> and left them there as commanded by God, they soon faced severe thirst. In search of water, [[Hajar]] made seven trips between the hills of [[Safa and Marwa]].<ref>''Al-Tafsīr al-ṣāfī'', vol. 3, p. 93.</ref> On the seventh time, while she was on Marwa, she saw water gushing from beneath Isma'il's feet.<ref>''Al-Tafsīr al-ṣāfī'', vol. 3, p. 93.</ref>

There are variations in the details of this incident. Some sources attribute the emergence of water from the Zamzam well to the striking of Ishmael's heel on the ground. Others suggest that it was the action of Gabriel, who appeared in human form, either by rubbing his foot or hand on the ground that caused the water to spring forth.<ref>''Akhbār Makka'', vol. 2, S40</ref>
