Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 1738 — Mice, chickens and the like falling

Qatadah said: Once an Abyssinian fell into the well of Zamzam and died. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) sent a man down into it, who brought him out. Then he said: Draw out all of its water. Then he said to the man who was in the well: Draw the water from the side of the spring that faces the House (of Allah) or the Corner, for it is a spring of Paradise.
