Zamzam
Both Bukhari and Muslim confirm that the Prophet (peace be upon him) drank of Zamzam water and said, "It is blessed (water); it is food for the hungry, and a healing for the sick." It is reported that the angel Gabriel washed the heart of the Prophet with its water on the Night Journey.
At-Tabarani in his Al-Kabir, and Ibn Hibban have reported from Ibn Abbas that the Prophet said: "The best water on earth is the water of Zamzam. It is food for the hungry, and a healing for the sick."
A person drinking Zamzam water should intend and hope for healing, blessings and whatever is best for him in this life and in the hereafter. The Prophet said, "The water of Zamzam is (good) for whatever it is intended." [Bayhaqi]
