Sunan an-Nasai 5703 (Book 51, Hadith 165) #20236
The Permissibility of Zamzam Water

SUMMARY: The Prophet (SAW) was thirsty and asked for a drink, but when he smelled it he frowned. He then asked for Zamzam water and drank some of it, and said that it was not unlawful.

It was narrated that Abu Mas'ud said: "The Prophet SAW became thirsty around the Ka'bah so he called for a drink. Some Nabidh was brought in a water skin and he smelled it and frowned. He said: 'Bring me a bucket of Zamzam (water)'. He poured it over it and drank some. A man said: 'Is it unlawful, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'No'."
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَمَانٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ عَطِشَ النَّبِيُّ حَوْلَ الْكَعْبَةِ فَاسْتَسْقَى فَأُتِيَ بِنَبِيذٍ مِنَ السِّقَايَةِ فَشَمَّهُ فَقَطَّبَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ عَلَىَّ بِذَنُوبٍ مِنْ زَمْزَمَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ شَرِبَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَهَذَا خَبَرٌ ضَعِيفٌ لأَنَّ يَحْيَى بْنَ يَمَانٍ انْفَرَدَ بِهِ دُونَ أَصْحَابِ سُفْيَانَ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ يَمَانٍ لاَ يُحْتَجُّ بِحَدِيثِهِ لِسُوءِ حِفْظِهِ وَكَثْرَةِ خَطَئِهِ
