The Fish of Madinah

similarly. Until today, the well is situated over there and this Faqeer[1] has drunk water from it.

He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has further stated: The water (of Bayruha) was greatly liked by the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and thus, Hujjaj (pilgrims) who are aware of this fact, drink its water to attain the blessings. (At present, it is not possible to visit Bayruha, nor possible to drink water from it, as it has been encompassed by the extension to Masjid-un-Nabawi عَـلٰی صاحِبِھَاالـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام. However, those people who know about it can make people visit that specific place within Masjid-un-Nabawi where Bayruha existed.)

Regarding this section of the Hadees ‘Great! This is an extremely beneficial asset,’ Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الْـحَـنَّان has mentioned on page 126: This means, ‘O Abu Talhah! Great benefit lies for you in donating this garden. So, it becomes clear to us that our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is even aware of the acceptance of the deeds. Moreover, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم also knows that to what extent, the various deeds of various people are accepted. Why wouldn’t have this garden been accepted! The garden was good itself, the one donating it was good i.e. a Sahabi رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ and the Distinguished Personality [the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم] for whose sake it was donated, is the best amongst all.
