“I was sitting with Ibn ‘Abbas, and a man came to him and he said: ‘Where have you come from?’ He said: ‘From Zamzam.’ He said: ‘Did you drink from it as you should?’ He said: ‘How is that?’ He said: ‘When you drink from it, turn to face the Qiblah and mention the name of Allah, drink three draughts and drink your fill of it. When you have finished, then praise Allah.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘The sign (that differentiates) between us and the hypocrites is that they do not drink their fill from Zamzam.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3061)   

الحاكم:١٧٣٨أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الثَّقَفِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتَ؟ فَقَالَ شَرِبْتُ مِنْ زَمْزَمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَشَرِبْتَ مِنْهَا كَمَا يَنْبَغِي؟ قَالَ وَكَيْفَ ذَاكَ يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ؟ قَالَ

إِذَا شَرِبْتَ مِنْهَا فَاسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ وَتَنَفَّسْ ثَلَاثًا وَتَضَلَّعْ مِنْهَا فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْهَا فَاحْمَدِ اللَّهَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «آيَةٌ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَتَضَلَّعُونَ مِنْ زَمْزَمَ»  

هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ إِنْ كَانَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ سَمِعَ مِنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

ابن ماجة:٣٠٦١حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ جَالِسًا فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتَ قَالَ مِنْ زَمْزَمَ قَالَ فَشَرِبْتَ مِنْهَا كَمَا يَنْبَغِي قَالَ وَكَيْفَ قَالَ

إِذَا شَرِبْتَ مِنْهَا فَاسْتَقْبِلِ الْكَعْبَةَ وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ وَتَنَفَّسْ ثَلاَثًا وَتَضَلَّعْ مِنْهَا فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَاحْمَدِ اللَّهَ ﷻ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ آيَةَ مَا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ أَنَّهُمْ لاَ يَتَضَلَّعُونَ مِنْ زَمْزَمَ
