There was no sight of food or water, yet he (AS) left his family alone on the trust of Allah Almighty. As Hazrat Ismail (AS) felt thirsty, Hajar ran back and forth across the hills of Safah and Marwah 7 times in search of a Caravan/travellers passing by. So that she can ask them for water. However, there was no luck. The thirst of Ismail (AS) intensified so much that he started rubbing his heels on the ground. By the will of Allah Almighty, miraculously, a spring of freshwater broke out of nowhere. The flow of water was powerful and everlasting such that Hazrat Hajar had to say “Zam Zam” which means stop flowing in order to cease the flow of water. That’s how the water got its name Zamzam.
