"Zamzam water is for whatever was intended behind drinking it."
We were told that Abdullah bin AI-Mubarak once said, "O Allah! Ibn AI-Mu'ammil told us that Muhammad bin Al-Munkadir related from Jabir that your Prophet b said:
"The water of Zamzam is for the purpose it is drank for, and I drink it to relieve my thirst on the Day of Resurrection."
This Hadith is of the Hasan (Sound) type.
Many other people and I have tried drinking from Zamzam water for the purpose of being cured from various illnesses, and by the will of Allah, I was indeed cured from several illnesses. I In addition saw some people who lived on Zamzam water for a long time, fifteen days or a little longer without complaining from hunger. Such people would perform Jawaf with other people at a normal pace. Someone even told me that Zamzam water was his only food and drink for forty days and that he still had enough strength to have sex with his wife, fast and perform Jawaf many times.
