SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4165		Narrated Ibn Abbas: The first lady to use a girdle was the mother of Ishmael. She used a girdle so that she might hide her tracks from Sarah. Abraham brought her and her son Ishmael while she was suckling him; to a place near the Kaba under a tree on the spot of Zamzam; at the highest place in the Masjid. During those days there was nobody in Mecca; nor was there any water So he made them sit over there and placed near them a leather bag containing some dates; and a small water-skin containing some water; and set out homeward. Ishmael mother followed him saying; O Abraham! Where are you going; leaving us in this valley where there is no person whose company we may enjoy; nor is there anything to enjoy ? She repeated that to him many times; but he did not look back at her Then she asked him; Has Allah ordered you to do so? He said; Yes. She said; Then He will not neglect us; and returned while Abraham proceeded onwards; and on reaching the Thaniya where they could not see him; he faced the Kaba; and raising both hands; invoked Allah saying the following prayers: O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring dwell in a valley without cultivation; by Your Sacred House Kaba at Mecca in order; O our Lord; that they may offer prayer perfectly. So fill some hearts among men with love towards them; and O Allah provide them with fruits; so that they may give thanks. 14.37 Ishmael mother went on suckling Ishmael and drinking from the water she had. When the water in the water-skin had all been used up; she became thirsty and her child also became thirsty. She started looking at him i.e. Ishmael tossing in agony; She left him; for she could not endure looking at him; and found that the mountain of Safa was the nearest mountain to her on that land. She stood on it and started looking at the valley keenly so that she might see somebody; but she could not see anybody. Then she descended from Safa and when she reached the valley; she tucked up her robe and ran in the valley like a person in distress and trouble; till she crossed the valley and reached the Marwa mountain where she stood and started looking; expecting to see somebody; but she could not see anybody. She repeated that running between Safa and Marwa seven times. The Prophet ﷺ said; This is the source of the tradition of the walking of people between them i.e. Safa and Marwa. When she reached the Marwa for the last time she heard a voice and she asked herself to be quiet and listened attentively. She heard the voice again and said; O; whoever you may be ! You have made me hear your voice; have you got something to help me? And behold! She saw an angel at the place of Zamzam; digging the earth with his heel or his wing ; till water flowed from that place. She started to make something like a basin around it; using her hand in this way; and started filling her water-skin with water with her hands; and the water was flowing out after she had scooped some of it. The Prophet ﷺ added; May Allah bestow Mercy on Ishmael mother! Had she let the Zamzam flow without trying to control it or had she not scooped from that water to fill her water-skin ; Zamzam would have been a stream flowing on the surface of the earth. The Prophet ﷺ further added; Then she drank water and suckled her child. The angel said to her; Dont be afraid of being neglected; for this is the House of Allah which will be built by this boy and his father; and Allah never neglects His people. The House i.e. Kaba at that time was on a high place resembling a hillock; and when torrents came; they flowed to its right and left. She lived in that way till some people from the tribe of Jurhum or a family from Jurhum passed by her and her child; as they i.e. the Jurhum people were coming through the way of Kada. They landed in the lower part of Mecca where they saw a bird that had the habit of flying around water and not leaving it. They said; This bird must be flying around water; though we know that there is no water in this valley. They sent one or two messengers who discovered the source of water; and returned to inform them of the water. So; they all came towards the water. The Prophet ﷺ added; Ishmael mother was sitting near the water. They asked her; Do you allow us to stay with you? She replied; Yes; but you will have no right to possess the water. They agreed to that. The Prophet ﷺ further said; Ishmael mother was pleased with the whole situation as she used to love to enjoy the company of the people. So; they settled there; and later on they sent for their families who came and settled with them so that some families became permanent residents there. The child i.e. Ishmael grew up and learnt Arabic from them and his virtues caused them to love and admire him as he grew up; and when he reached the age of puberty they made him marry a woman from amongst them. After Ishmael mother had died; Abraham came after Ishmael marriage in order to see his family that he had left before; but he did not find Ishmael there. When he asked Ishmael wife about him; she replied; He has gone in search of our livelihood. Then he asked her about their way of living and their condition; and she replied; We are living in misery; we are living in hardship and destitution; complaining to him. He said; When your husband returns; convey my salutation to him and tell him to change the threshold of the gate of his house. When Ishmael came; he seemed to have felt something unusual; so he asked his wife; Has anyone visited you? She replied; Yes; an old man of so-and-so description came and asked me about you and I informed him; and he asked about our state of living; and I told him that we were living in a hardship and poverty. On that Ishmael said; Did he advise you anything? She replied; Yes; he told me to convey his salutation to you and to tell you to change the threshold of your gate. Ishmael said; It was my father; and he has ordered me to divorce you. Go back to your family. So; Ishmael divorced her and married another woman from amongst them i.e. Jurhum. Then Abraham stayed away from them for a period as long as Allah wished and called on them again but did not find Ishmael. So he came to Ishmael wife and asked her about Ishmael. She said; He has gone in search of our livelihood. Abraham asked her; How are you getting on? asking her about their sustenance and living. She replied; We are prosperous and well-off i.e. we have everything in abundance. Then she thanked Allah Abraham said; What kind of food do you eat? She said. Meat. He said; What do you drink? She said; Water. He said; O Allah! Bless their meat and water. The Prophet added; At that time they did not have grain; and if they had grain; he would have also invoked Allah to bless it. The Prophet ﷺ added; If somebody has only these two things as his sustenance; his health and disposition will be badly affected; unless he lives in Mecca. The Prophet ﷺ added; Then Abraham said Ishmael wife; When your husband comes; give my regards to him and tell him that he should keep firm the threshold of his gate. When Ishmael came back; he asked his wife; Did anyone call on you? She replied; Yes; a good-looking old man came to me; so she praised him and added. He asked about you; and I informed him; and he asked about our livelihood and I told him that we were in a good condition. Ishmael asked her; Did he give you any piece of advice? She said; Yes; he told me to give his regards to you and ordered that you should keep firm the threshold of your gate. On that Ishmael said; It was my father; and you are the threshold of the gate. He has ordered me to keep you with me. Then Abraham stayed away from them for a period as long as Allah wished; and called on them afterwards. He saw Ishmael under a tree near Zamzam; sharpening his arrows. When he saw Abraham; he rose up to welcome him and they greeted each other as a father does with his son or a son does with his father. Abraham said; O Ishmael! Allah has given me an order. Ishmael said; Do what your Lord has ordered you to do. Abraham asked; Will you help me? Ishmael said; I will help you. Abraham said; Allah has ordered me to build a house here; pointing to a hillock higher than the land surrounding it. The Prophet ﷺ added; Then they raised the foundations of the House i.e. the Kaba. Ishmael brought the stones and Abraham was building; and when the walls became high; Ishmael brought this stone and put it for Abraham who stood over it and carried on building; while Ishmael was handing him the stones; and both of them were saying; O our Lord! Accept this service from us; Verily; You are the All-Hearing; the All-Knowing. The Prophet ﷺ added; Then both of them went on building and going round the Kaba saying: O our Lord ! Accept this service from us; Verily; You are the All-Hearing; the All-Knowing. 2.127	The Chapter on Allah And Prophets Ismail And Abraham in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on And Allah Statement hastening in Sahih AlBukhari
SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4166		Narrated Ibn Abbas: When Abraham had differences with his wife ; because of her jealousy of Hajar; Ishmael mother ; he took Ishmael and his mother and went away. They had a water-skin with them containing some water; Ishmael mother used to drink water from the water-skin so that her milk would increase for her child. When Abraham reached Mecca; he made her sit under a tree and afterwards returned home. Ishmael mother followed him; and when they reached Kada; she called him from behind; O Abraham! To whom are you leaving us? He replied; I am leaving you to Allah Care. She said; I am satisfied to be with Allah. She returned to her place and started drinking water from the water-skin; and her milk increased for her child. When the water had all been used up; she said to herself; Id better go and look so that I may see somebody. She ascended the Safa mountain and looked; hoping to see somebody; but in vain. When she came down to the valley; she ran till she reached the Marwa mountain. She ran to and fro between the two mountains many times. They she said to herself; id better go and see the state of the child; she went and found it in a state of one on the point of dying. She could not endure to watch it dying and said to herself ; If I go and look; I may find somebody. She went and ascended the Safa mountain and looked for a long while but could not find anybody. Thus she completed seven rounds of running between Safa and Marwa. Again she said to herself ; Id better go back and see the state of the child. But suddenly she heard a voice; and she said to that strange voice; Help us if you can offer any help. Lo! It was Gabriel who had made the voice. Gabriel hit the earth with his heel like this Ibn Abbas hit the earth with his heel to Illustrate it ; and so the water gushed out. Ishmael mother was astonished and started digging. Abu AlQasim i.e. the Prophet said; If she had left the water; flow naturally without her intervention ; it would have been flowing on the surface of the earth. Ishmael mother started drinking from the water and her milk increased for her child. Afterwards some people of the tribe of Jurhum; while passing through the bottom of the valley; saw some birds; and that astonished them; and they said; Birds can only be found at a place where there is water. They sent a messenger who searched the place and found the water; and returned to inform them about it. Then they all went to her and said; O ishmael mother! Will you allow us to be with you or dwell with you ? And thus they stayed there. Later on her boy reached the age of puberty and married a lady from them. Then an idea occurred to Abraham which he disclosed to his wife Sarah ; I want to call on my dependents I left at Mecca. When he went there; he greeted Ishmael wife and said; Where is Ishmael? She replied; He has gone out hunting. Abraham said to her ; When he comes; tell him to change the threshold of his gate. When he came; she told him the same whereupon Ishmael said to her; You are the threshold; so go to your family i.e. you are divorced. Again Abraham thought of visiting his dependents whom he had left at Mecca ; and he told his wife Sarah of his intentions. Abraham came to Ishmael house and asked. Where is Ishmael? Ishmael wife replied; He has gone out hunting; and added; Will you stay for some time and have something to eat and drink? Abraham asked; What is your food and what is your drink? She replied; Our food is meat and our drink is water. He said; O Allah! Bless their meals and their drink. Abu AlQa-sim i.e. Prophet said; Because of Abraham invocation there are blessings in Mecca. Once more Abraham thought of visiting his family he had left at Mecca ; so he told his wife Sarah of his decision. He went and found Ishmael behind the Zamzam well; mending his arrows. He said; O Ishmael; Your Lord has ordered me to build a house for Him. Ishmael said; Obey the order of your Lord. Abraham said; Allah has also ordered me that you should help me therein. Ishmael said; Then I will do. So; both of them rose and Abraham started building the Kaba while Ishmael went on handing him the stones; and both of them were saying; O our Lord ! Accept this service from us; Verily; You are the All-Hearing; the All-Knowing. 2.127. When the building became high and the old man i.e. Abraham could no longer lift the stones to such a high position ; he stood over the stone of AlMaqam and Ishmael carried on handing him the stones; and both of them were saying; O our Lord! Accept this service from us; Verily You are All-Hearing; All-Knowing. 2.127	The Chapter on Allah And Prophets Ismail And Abraham in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on And Allah Statement hastening in Sahih AlBukhari
SahihAlBukhari-017-001-5738		Narrated Ibn Abbas: When Allah Messenger ﷺ came to Mecca; he refused to enter the Kaba with idols in it. He ordered idols to be taken out. So they were taken out. The people took out the pictures of Abraham and Ishmael holding Azlams in their hands. Allah Messenger ﷺ said; May Allah curse these people. By Allah; both Abraham and Ishmael never did the game of chance with Azlams. Then he entered the Kaba and said Takbir at its corners but did not offer the prayer in it.
