Who are the Saudi families distributing Zamzam water for over 14 centuries?

ZamZam water running through ages: Of the innumerable miracles and the blessings of Allah S.W.T, the water gushing from the ancient and the famous ZamZam well is most prominent and the well-known of all. It is located in The Holy City of Makkah, situated near The Holy Kaaba where hundreds of thousands of Muslims gather and offer special prayers and do pilgrimage.

The water coming out of this well is itself a miracle, with extraordinary density, freshness and the only fresh stream of water running through ages. Muslims visit the Holy City of Makkah to offer their religious obligations like Hajj and Umrah and to drink water from this sacred well.

After the death of Abdul Muttalib, this work was moved to our Prophet’s uncle Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib. This was considered a good deed.
