A Companion, Sayyiduna Ali al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates: "We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) until we halted at al-Qahah, and there was no water there. He (peace and blessings be upon him) halted in the upper part of the valley and scraped the pebbly ground with his hand, and it became moist. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) sat down and dug (the ground), and water gushed out. He (peace and blessings be upon him) drank himself and gave drink to those who were with him, then he said: 'This is Suqya (a watering); Allah has given you drink.' So the place came to be called 'al-Suqya'."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is not narrated from Ali al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) except with this chain; Ibrahim bin Sa'id al-Jawhari is alone in narrating it."
