However, miraculously water sprouted from the place where infant Ismail (AS) was rubbing his heels and crying in thirst.
Today, millions of Muslims not only take part in performing Sayee during Hajj and Umrah i.e. remembering the struggles of Hajar but also extensively use Zamzam water for drinking and ablution purposes.
