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. The rediscovery and restoration of the well were later entrusted to [[Abdu al-Muttalib]], the grandfather of the [[Prophet Muhammad]] (s), who was responsible for re-excavating it, thus allowing the water to flow once again.
