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