Hadith 3735

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا : أَنّ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَسِلَّمَ كَانَ " يُسْتَعْذَبُ لَهُ الْمَاءُ مِنْ بُيُوتِ السُّقْيَا " ، قِالَ قُتَيْبَةُ : عَيْنٌ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ يَوْمَانِ .
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The water from as-Suqya' was considered sweetest by the Prophet ﷺ. Qutaybah said: it was a well on two days' journey from Madina.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Benefit:
Pure and excellent water is a basic necessity for human beings.
Making arrangements for it is the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
Enjoying Allah’s blessings within permissible limits is not contrary to asceticism (zuhd).
However, expressing gratitude for these blessings is necessary.
Under the influence of non-Arab and Indian concepts, some Sufis consider abstaining from these natural blessings to be religion.
Whereas this concept is not correct.
