Nayl al-Awtaar v5 p149

Regarding his ﷺ statement:

«The water of Zam Zam is what it is drunk for» – authenticated by al-Albaanee in Saheeh al-Jaami’ no.10439.

ash-Showkaanee رحمه الله said:


There is evidence here that the water of Zam Zam benefits the drinker for whatever reason he drinks it for – whether it is for the affairs of this world or the Hereafter; because «what» in his ﷺ words «is what it is drunk for» is general in meaning [encompassing all affairs].
