✨ The Hidden Well Under Masjid Nabawi's Carpet | The Well of Abu Talha (RA) 💧 Most pilgrims walk straight past it — but hidden beneath the carpet just inside the King Fahd Gate (Bab Al-Malik Fahd) of Masjid Nabawi lies one of the seven famous wells of Madinah from the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It's called Bir Ha (also spelled Bayruha / Bi'r Ha'), more commonly known as the Well of Abu Talha (RA). The Prophet ﷺ himself used to visit this garden, sit in the shade of its trees, and drink from its sweet, fresh water. The well belonged to Abu Talha al-Ansari (RA), one of the wealthiest companions of the Ansar in Madinah, and Bir Ha was his most beloved garden out of all his properties. Then one day, Allah revealed verse 3:92 of the Qur'an: "By no means shall you attain righteousness unless you spend (in charity) of that which you love." — Surah Ali 'Imran 3:92 Without a moment's hesitation, Abu Talha (RA) stood up and gave away his most beloved garden — including this very well — in the path of Allah. The Prophet ﷺ praised him and advised him to distribute it among his closest relatives, which Abu Talha (RA) did immediately. Today, the well lies sealed beneath the marble floor of Masjid Nabawi — its location quietly marked by three circular marble mosaics under the carpet near Bab Al-Malik Fahd (the King Fahd Gate, gates 20–22 on the northern side). Millions of pilgrims walk over it every year without ever knowing what lies beneath their feet. Next time you enter Masjid Nabawi from the King Fahd Gate, pause for a moment. You may be standing on a piece of land the Prophet ﷺ himself once walked, sat, and drank from. 🕌 📖 Authentic Sources & References: Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 1461 — Book of Zakat (narrated by Anas ibn Malik RA) Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 4554 — Book of Tafsir, under Surah Ali 'Imran 3:92 Sahih Muslim, Hadith 998 — Book of Zakat Qur'an: Surah Ali 'Imran, Verse 92 Ibn Samhudi, Wafa' al-Wafa' bi Akhbar Dar al-Mustafa, Vol. 3 Yaqut al-Hamawi, Mu'jam al-Buldan, Vol. 1 🔔 Follow for daily hidden gems from Madinah & Makkah: 📍 Instagram: @junaidhussainmadina 📍 YouTube: @JunaidHussainMadina 💬 Have you ever noticed the marble circles near the King Fahd Gate?
