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.

Bir Al Shifa named. Its water well located 70km approximately going from Madina to Yanbu highway. Water of this is sweet much similar to Zamzam water. It is said that Prophet Muhammad SAW spitted (luwab dehan) in the well to remove the salinity of water since that time water is sweet and still ongoing.
