Description

The Bir Al Shifa Well, also known as (Beer Al-Shifa) is a famous well in Islamic history. It is located apx 1 hour drive from the Blessed City of Madinah. It reported that this well was originally dug to assist muslim pilgrims who would travel for Hajj and Ummrah and required water on their journey.

However, its water was bitter and salty and often made people ill. It is reported that The Blessed Prophet Muhammed, Peace and Blessings of God Be Upon Him, was informed about the bitterness and unhealthy nature of the water.

Under restoration with new mosque. Rasulullah SAW stopped here for his army to drink water from this blessed well on the way to Badar Battle. The water from this well is still flowing. Masya Allah!

Currently renovation work is going on there, there are taps outside to collect water and to perform ablution. There are small mobile shops, people selling water bottles and other stuff.

Visited on date 16th November 2022. It is open for visitors. Bir Ghars (Arabic: بئر غرس) was one of the wells that was favoured by the Prophet ﷺ due to the freshness of its water. The Prophet ﷺ drank from the well, made Wudhu with its water and requested that he be washed using its water after his death.

Honestly, I had no clue about this place until I got a chance to visit it. It’s an Historic place and Traditionally it is believed that the Prophet Muhammad drank from this well once, and also made a request that be bathed with its water after his demise. The well water is open for people to drink and take they can take it home.
