Q 3: Zamzam water (a well near the Ka`bah) has been described as having many virtues. Is there any Sahih Hadith (authentic Hadith) confirming this? A: Zamzam water is the most blessed water on the earth. The most Sahih Hadith reported on the virtue of Zamzam water is found in Sahih (Authentic Hadith Book) of Muslim which states that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said about Zamzam: It is blessed; it is a food that nourishes. Abu Dawud added through an authentic Isnad (chain of narrators): And a cure of illness. It is reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) also said: Zamzam water is for whatever (purpose) it is drunk for. (Related by Imam Ahmad, Ibn Majah and others)May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
