The scarcity of water resources really haunted the quraish and demanded Abdul Mutollib's policy to overcome it. For several days he thought to find a way out so he was tired. One of the most favored places to get rid of fatigue is Hijr Ismail who was on the sideline of the ka'bah.One night when he lay down his body in that place while thinking about the reality he had faced, he said, suddenly both his eyes closed.before long he was jolted by a dream. Abdul Mutollib felt he had met a man wearing a white serbah and ordered him to dig at-thaibah. the dream he told his people and they interpreted a hope in the dream to get a water source.His people asked to go back to sleep in the same place to get clarity from the dream.
The next day, Abdul Mutollib went back to sleep in Hijr ismail. For three days sleeping there, the white-clothed man always met him and gave the order to dig something.On that third day, the, Abdul Mutollib understood what the mysterious man wanted in his dreams.
" digit zamzam, a source of abundant water and will be sufficient for pilgrims. The location of the well was somewhere with a lot of dirt and blood. There'll be crows pecking and becoming ants' nests."
Now it is clear that the location of the ZamZam well has vanished like money that fell in the middle of the road.
Abdul Mutolib's hope to save the face of his people was again present in his mind.With full attention, he traveled around the al-Haram Mosque.and his eyes were interested in the place of the founding of the idols of Ishaf and Nai'la. among the idols of a jahilian there was a crow pecking at the camel dung mixed with dried blood.His eyes also stared so much as to go in and out of the nest. Abdul Mutollib was very sure that among the idols there was a well of zamzam.
Without saying much, with the help of al-Haris.the only son he had at that time. This work is not without risk, the location is a place of slaughter of sacrificial animals for both idols.It is clear if the place is disturbed then the Quraysh must be a loud protest, Abdul Muyollib will be in the shelter as the destroyer of their sanctuary.But all have been calculated well by him, al-Haris ordered to protect his work, while he dug the place.
He made it clear that all this was done to find the well of zamzam.not because of disrespect to their holy place.the reason they still did not accept.gutting is getting heated up, Abdul Mutollib whistled loudly to continue while his people did not take his side. that day he really felt poor until finally he thought if he had more than one child of course his children were ready to stand behind him.
so as to reveal his people he took an oath "I swear to you that if I had more than ten sons I would sacrifice them to the kalaian god".
The oath made the people silent and do nothing.
in their minds it turned out that Abdul Mutollib was so serious about what he made that he was torn to sacrifice his children if more than ten.
