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. He placed his Blessed saliva in the water after which the nature of the water became sweet and healthy by the permission of God. Visitors today can still visit this well is located off the main highway and taste the sweetness of this water for themselves. You may also be interested in visiting the Ghars Well and Ethiq Well both of which are located in Madinah.

This clinic doesn't even deserve a star. Pathetic customer service,the staff is not helpful at all. Dr. Seema is the worst doctor I have ever met in my life. She doesn't know how to behave with a sick patient. Very rude and disgusting.

This well is part of Islamic history. Prophet Mohamed drank water during the march from Madina to Badr for the battle. The masjid near by as per Hadeeth about 70 prophets prayed there. During my visit, Masjid is being reconstructed and about to be completed. The well is also covered with temporary fence as there are some maintenance going on. However water from the well is being delivered through Taps.

Visited today with my family to find the well closed. It's been closed for the last 2 months and will be closed for another 2 months we have been told due to improvement work. Very disappointing! The listing online should be updated to show it's temporarily closed, to save people a wasted journey.

The " wel" is known as " آب شفا" .situated on "madinah to yanbu " road . After madinah towards yanbu , 80 km right side , a sign board of "musayjid 15km" take exit to the desert. After 50 to 100 meter take left then it can be seen ..... Now here is majid being constructed as old structure . This well known as in "ancient time" after the battle of "badar" was finished , the army was moving back towards madinah with wounded soldiers here they took rest and try to take water but the water was "bitter".then one companion of prophet (pbuh) filled a bowl of water and took to him , he dropped saliva and ordered him to put it in the "well".he did so and filled the water again from well , This time taste of water was changed and bacame drinkable . Untill now , the taste is same as it was that time ... (This whole story is said by old peoples of the time ). Many peoples take from here for families and friends as well .as the treatment of sugar and other diseases .( Allah knows better the truth and facts )
