2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that when Ibrahim , left Isma‘il behind in Makkah, the child became thirsty. Between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah there was a tree. His mother went to al-Safa’ and called aloud, ‘Is there anyone, in the wilderness, to provide relief?’ No one answered. She then went to al-Marwah and called aloud, ‘Is there anyone in the wilderness to provide relief?’ No one answered. Then she went back to al-Safa’ and did the same thing repeatedly seven times. Allah made this a tradition. Jibril then came and asked her, ‘Who are you?’ She replied, ‘I am the mother of the child of Ibrahim.’ He (Jibril) then asked, ‘In whose care did he leave you?’ She replied, ‘Since you say this, I, when Ibrahim was leaving, asked him, “O Ibrahim, in whose care are you leaving us?” He replied, “I leave you in the care of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious).”’ He (Jibril) said, ‘He has certainly left you in the care of one who is a sufficient caretaker.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘People would avoid traveling through Makkah because of water scarcity. The child kicked his heels to search for water and make Zamzam flow.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘She returned from al-Marwah to the child when water had already gushed out. She piled soil to allow water to accumulate for fear of its flowing away; had she not done so it would have flowed.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘When birds saw the water they began to circle around. At this time, a caravan from Yemen passing by saw birds circling; they said, ‘Birds circle only where there is water.’ They came to them (mother and child) who gave them water and they (people) in turn gave them food. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, in this way provided for them (mother and child) means of sustenance. People would pass by Makkah. They would feed them (mother and child) who in turn would give those (people) water.’”
