حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ثَنَا أَيُّوبُ قَالَ أُنْبِئْتُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فَجَاءَ الْمَلَكُ بِهَا حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى مَوْضِعِ زَمْزَمَ فَضَرَبَ بِعَقِبِهِ فَفَارَتْ عَيْنًا فَعَجِلَتِ الْإِنْسَانَةُ فَجَعَلَتْ تَقْدَحُ فِي شَنَّتِهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ أُمَّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ لَوْ لَا أَنَّهَا عَجِلَتْ لَكَانَتْ زَمْزَمُ عَيْنًا مَعِينًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: Then the angel brought Lady Hajarah (may Allah have mercy on her), until when he reached the place of Zamzam, he struck his heel there, and a spring gushed forth from that place. Now the lady began to fill her water-skin with the help of a cup. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah have mercy on the mother of Isma'il; if she had not hurried, Zamzam would have been a flowing stream.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Zamzam would have been a flowing spring, that is, a clear and manifest spring running on the surface of the earth. Ibn al-Jawzi said: The appearance of Zamzam was purely a blessing from Allah Ta‘ala; there was no involvement of any human action in it. When Sayyidah Hajarah rahimahallah tried to confine it, human effort intervened, so it became confined. (Fath al-Bari: 6/402)
