Sahih al-Bukhari 3362, 3363 (Book 60, Hadith 37) #3215
The Praise of Ishmael's Mother

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) praised the mother of Ishmael for her quick action in filling her water-skin with water from the Zamzam well, which prevented it from becoming a stream flowing on the surface of the earth.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on the mother of Ishmael! Had she not hastened (to fill her water-skin with water from the Zamzam well). Zamzam would have been a stream flowing on the surface of the earth". Ibn 'Abbas further added, "(The Prophet) Abraham brought Ishmael and his mother (to Mecca) and she was suckling Ishmael and she had a water-skin with her'.
حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ أُمَّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، لَوْلاَ أَنَّهَا عَجِلَتْ لَكَانَ زَمْزَمُ عَيْنًا مَعِينًا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَمَّا كَثِيرُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ فَحَدَّثَنِي قَالَ إِنِّي وَعُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ جُلُوسٌ مَعَ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، فَقَالَ مَا هَكَذَا حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ أَقْبَلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بِإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَأُمِّهِ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ وَهْىَ تُرْضِعُهُ، مَعَهَا شَنَّةٌ ـ لَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ ـ ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِهَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَبِابْنِهَا إِسْمَاعِيلَ‏.‏
