This is the direct story from the mouth of
Prophet Muhammad(SAW). What a
magnificant plan Allah(SWT) had in store for
the House of Ibraheim(AS):
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "May
Allah bestow His
Mercy on the mother of Ishmael! Had she not
hastened (to fill
her water−skin with water from the Zamzam
well). Zamzam would
have been a stream flowing on the surface of
the earth." Ibn
`Abbas further added, "(The Prophet)
Abraham brought Ishmael
and his mother (to Mecca) and she was
suckling Ishmael and she
had a water−skin with her.'
4.583:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The first lady to use a
girdle was the
mother of Ishmael. She used a girdle so that
she might hide
her tracks from Sarah. Abraham brought her
and her son Ishmael
while she was suckling him, to a place near
the Ka`ba under a
tree on the spot of Zamzam, at the highest
place in the
mosque. During those days there was nobody
in Mecca, nor was
there any water So he made them sit over
there and placed near
them a leather bag containing some dates,
and a small
water−skin containing some water, and set
out homeward.
Ishmael's mother followed him saying, "O
Abraham! Where are
you going, leaving us in this valley where
there is no person
whose company we may enjoy, nor is there
anything (to enjoy)?"
She repeated that to him many times, but he
did not look back
at her Then she asked him, "Has Allah ordered
you to do so?"
He said, "Yes." She said, "Then He will not
neglect us," and
returned while Abraham proceeded onwards,
and on reaching the
Thaniya where they could not see him, he
faced the Ka`ba, and
raising both hands, invoked Allah saying the
following
prayers: 'O our Lord! I have made some of my
offspring dwell
in a valley without cultivation, by Your Sacred
House (Ka`ba
at Mecca) in order, O our Lord, that they may
offer prayer
perfectly. So fill some hearts among men with
love towards
them, and (O Allah) provide them with fruits,
so that they may
give thanks.' (1
4.37) Ishmael's mother went on suckling
Ishmael and drinking
from the water (she had). When the water in
the water−skin had
all been used up, she became thirsty and her
child also became
thirsty. She started looking at him (i.e.
Ishmael) tossing in
agony; She left him, for she could not endure
looking at him,
and found that the mountain of Safa was the
nearest mountainto her on that land. She
stood on it and started looking at
the valley keenly so that she might see
somebody, but she
could not see anybody. Then she descended
from Safa and when
she reached the valley, she tucked up her
robe and ran in the
valley like a person in distress and trouble, till
she crossed
the valley and reached the Marwa mountain
where she stood and
started looking, expecting to see somebody,
but she could not
see anybody. She repeated that (running
between Safa and
Marwa) seven times." The Prophet said, "This
is the source of
the tradition of the walking of people
between them (i.e. Safa
and Marwa). When she reached the Marwa
(for the last time) she
heard a voice and she asked herself to be
quiet and listened
attentively. She heard the voice again and
said, 'O, (whoever
you may be)! You have made me hear your
voice; have you got
something to help me?" And behold! She saw
an angel at the
place of Zamzam, digging the earth with his
heel (or his
wing), till water flowed from that place. She
started to make
something like a basin around it, using her
hand in this way,
and started filling her water−skin with water
with her hands,
and the water was flowing out after she had
scooped some of
it." The Prophet added, "May Allah bestow
Mercy on Ishmael's
mother! Had she let the Zamzam (flow
without trying to control
it) (or had she not scooped from that water)
(to fill her
water−skin), Zamzam would have been a
stream flowing on the
surface of the earth." The Prophet further
added, "Then she
drank (water) and suckled her child. The
angel said to her,
'Don't be afraid of being neglected, for this is
the House of
Allah which will be built by this boy and his
father, and
Allah never neglects His people.' The House
(i.e. Ka`ba) at
that time was on a high place resembling a
hillock, and when
torrents came, they flowed to its right and
left. She lived in
that way till some people from the tribe of
Jurhum or a family
from Jurhum passed by her and her child, as
they (i.e. the
Jurhum people) were coming through the
way of Kada'. They
landed in the lower part of Mecca where they
saw a bird that
had the habit of flying around water and not
leaving it. They
said, 'This bird must be flying around water,
though we know
that there is no water in this valley.' They sent
one or twomessengers who discovered the
source of water, and returned to
inform them of the water. So, they all came
(towards the
water)." The Prophet added, "Ishmael's
mother was sitting near
the water. They asked her, 'Do you allow us to
stay with you?"
She replied, 'Yes, but you will have no right to
possess the
water.' They agreed to that." The Prophet
further said,
"Ishmael's mother was pleased with the
whole situation as she
used to love to enjoy the company of the
people. So, they
settled there, and later on they sent for their
families who
came and settled with them so that some
families became
permanent residents there. The child (i.e.
Ishmael) grew up
and learnt Arabic from them and (his virtues)
caused them to
love and admire him as he grew up, and
when he reached the age
of puberty they made him marry a woman
from amongst them.
After Ishmael's mother had died, Abraham
came after Ishmael's
marriage in order to see his family that he
had left before,
but he did not find Ishmael there. When he
asked Ishmael's
wife about him, she replied, 'He has gone in
search of our
livelihood.' Then he asked her about their way
of living and
their condition, and she replied, 'We are living
in misery; we
are living in hardship and destitution,'
complaining to him.
He said, 'When your husband returns, convey
my salutation to
him and tell him to change the threshold of
the gate (of his
house).' When Ishmael came, he seemed to
have felt something
unusual, so he asked his wife, 'Has anyone
visited you?' She
replied, 'Yes, an old man of so−and−so
description came and
asked me about you and I informed him, and
he asked about our
state of living, and I told him that we were
living in a
hardship and poverty.' On that Ishmael said,
'Did he advise
you anything?' She replied, 'Yes, he told me to
convey his
salutation to you and to tell you to change the
threshold of
your gate.' Ishmael said, 'It was my father,
and he has
ordered me to divorce you. Go back to your
family.' So,
Ishmael divorced her and married another
woman from amongst
them (i.e. Jurhum). Then Abraham stayed
away from them for a
period as long as Allah wished and called on
them again but
did not find Ishmael. So he came to Ishmael's
wife and asked
her about Ishmael. She said, 'He has gone in
search of ourlivelihood.' Abraham asked her,
'How are you getting on?'
asking her about their sustenance and living.
She replied, 'We
are prosperous and well−off (i.e. we have
everything in
abundance).' Then she thanked Allah'
Abraham said, 'What kind
of food do you eat?' She said. 'Meat.' He said,
'What do you
drink?' She said, 'Water." He said, "O Allah!
Bless their meat
and water." The Prophet added, "At that time
they did not have
grain, and if they had grain, he would have
also invoked Allah
to bless it." The Prophet added, "If somebody
has only these
two things as his sustenance, his health and
disposition will
be badly affected, unless he lives in Mecca."
The Prophet
added," Then Abraham said Ishmael's wife,
"When your husband
comes, give my regards to him and tell him
that he should keep
firm the threshold of his gate.' When Ishmael
came back, he
asked his wife, 'Did anyone call on you?' She
replied, 'Yes, a
good−looking old man came to me,' so she
praised him and
added. 'He asked about you, and I informed
him, and he asked
about our livelihood and I told him that we
were in a good
condition.' Ishmael asked her, 'Did he give
you any piece of
advice?' She said, 'Yes, he told me to give his
regards to you
and ordered that you should keep firm the
threshold of your
gate.' On that Ishmael said, 'It was my father,
and you are
the threshold (of the gate). He has ordered
me to keep you
with me.' Then Abraham stayed away from
them for a period as
long as Allah wished, and called on them
afterwards. He saw
Ishmael under a tree near Zamzam,
sharpening his arrows. When
he saw Abraham, he rose up to welcome him
(and they greeted
each other as a father does with his son or a
son does with
his father). Abraham said, 'O Ishmael! Allah
has given me an
order.' Ishmael said, 'Do what your Lord has
ordered you to
do.' Abraham asked, 'Will you help me?'
Ishmael said, 'I will
help you.' Abraham said, Allah has ordered me
to build a house
here,' pointing to a hillock higher than the
land surrounding
it." The Prophet added, "Then they raised the
foundations of
the House (i.e. the Ka`ba). Ishmael brought the
stones and
Abraham was building, and when the walls
became high, Ishmael
brought this stone and put it for Abraham
who stood over it
and carried on building, while Ishmael was
handing him thestones, and both of them
were saying, 'O our Lord! Accept
(this service) from us, Verily, You are the All
−Hearing, the
All−Knowing.' The Prophet added, "Then both
of them went on
building and going round the Ka`ba saying: O
our Lord ! Accept
(this service) from us, Verily, You are the All
−Hearing, the
All−Knowing." (2.127)

Prophets)
