The Death of Aminah and the Situation of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with His Grandfather ʿAbd al-Muttalib Thereafter

[ وِلَايَةُ الْعَبَّاسِ عَلَى سِقَايَةِ زَمْزَمَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَلَمَّا هَلَكَ عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ وَلِيَ زَمْزَمَ وَالسِّقَايَةَ عَلَيْهَا بَعْدَهُ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَهُوَ يَوْمئِذٍ مِنْ أَحْدَثِ إخْوَتِهِ سِنًّا، فَلَمْ تَزَلْ إلَيْهِ حَتَّى قَامَ الْإِسْلَامُ وَهِيَ بِيَدِهِ. فَأَقَرَّهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَهُ عَلَى مَا مَضَى مِنْ وِلَايَتِهِ، فَهِيَ إلَى آلِ الْعَبَّاسِ، بِوِلَايَةِ الْعَبَّاسِ إيَّاهَا، إلَى ( هَذَا ) الْيَوْمِ.

Translation

✧ [ The Authority of al-ʿAbbās over the Siqāyah of Zamzam ] Ibn Isḥāq said: When ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib b. Hāshim died, al-ʿAbbās b. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib assumed authority over Zamzam and the siqāyah after him. At that time he was among the youngest of his brothers in age. It remained in his charge until Islam arose, and it was in his hand. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ confirmed it for him according to his previous authority, so it belongs to the family of al-ʿAbbās, by virtue of al-ʿAbbās's authority over it, until this day.
