1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya and Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that after performing two Rak‘at salat (prayer) you should go to the Black Stone, kiss, touch it and point toward it; it should be done.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If you can drink from Zamzam before leaving for al-Safa’, it is better, and when drinking say, ‘O Allah, make it useful knowledge, abundant sustenance and a cure for all illnesses and deficiencies.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It has come to us that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, when looking at Zamzam, said, ‘Were I not to cause difficulties for my followers, I would have taken one or two containers full of water of Zamzam.’”
