. (Second Chain) This hadith is also narrated through a second chain in the same manner, except that in it is mentioned: After performing tawaf, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the place where Zamzam water was being served and said: Give me some to drink as well. They said: This water is constantly being affected by people; we will bring you (clean) water from the house. But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no need for that; serve me from the same place where people are drinking.
