Ismail and the House

إسماعيل والبيت

Ismail was a forbearing boy, a prophet, and an ancestor of the Arabs of the House. His mother ran between Safa and Marwah. Zamzam sprang. The Prophet kept that run as sa'y. Ibn Abbas told the long report in Bukhari: the well, the bird, Jurhum, and how Makkah was settled.

Ismail helped his father raise the Kaaba. The adhan of Ibrahim is still answered every Hajj: here I am, O Allah.

From the Quran

From the Sunnah

Zamzam is from Allah. Do not turn it into a tourist legend.
