(عَزَّوَجَلَّ) will quench your thirst.” Those who narrated this Hadees state that whenever Hazrat Sayyiduna Ibn-e-Abbas رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُمَا would drink the water of Zam Zam, he would recite this Du’a:

اَللّٰھُمَّ اَسْأَلُکَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا وَّرِزْقًا وَّاسِعًا وَّشِفَاءً مِّنْ کُلِّ دَاءٍ

Translation: O Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ)! I ask You for beneficial knowledge, increased sustenance and cure from every illness. (Mustadrak, vol. 2, pp. 132, Raqm 1782)

6. Hajar-e-Aswad (The Black Stone) and Maqam-e-Ibrahim are also in the sacred city of Makkah.

Hajar-e-Aswad and Maqam-e-Ibrahim

Hajar-e-Aswad is a heavenly stone. Hajar-e-Aswad and Maqam-e-Ibrahim are 2 ‘Heavenly Rubies’. Originally, they were very luminous and bright. Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) has hidden their Noor (brightness). If He Almighty had not done so, then they would have illuminated the East and West. (Tafseer-e-Na’eemi, pp. 680, 681)

When the Black Stone was put into the wall of the Ka’bah, its light spread far and wide in all 4 directions. Wherever the light reached, that part was set to be the boundary of Haram in which hunting is prohibited. The Black Stone was originally white, it has now become black due to the hands of sinners. (Tafseer-e-Na’eemi, pp. 680, 681)

The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has kissed it. Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Hazrat Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ states: “O Hajar-e-Aswad! I know you       are a stone, unable to give benefit or loss. Had I not seen the Holy Prophet  صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم kissing you, I would have never kissed you.” (Balad-ul-Ameen, pp. 21)

The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: “On the Day of Judgement, this stone will be raised. It will have 2 eyes from which it will see and it will have a tongue from which it will speak. It will give testimony in the favour of those who kissed it. (Tirmizi, vol. 2, pp. 286, Hadees 963)
