The ruling on supplication at the Well of Zamzam

Question:
The questioner says: I see some people making supplication at the Well of Zamzam. Does this act have any special merit? And did it come from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that

Answer:
Supplication is not made at Zamzam. This is what has come regarding it: the place for the supplication of Zamzam is for drinking. A person drinks and makes the supplication for drinking. The supplication for drinking is the same whether one drinks at Zamzam or drinks water from Zamzam in any place. He makes the supplication by saying, “In the name of Allah” at the beginning of the drink, and if he supplicates, he says, “O Allah, make it a beneficial knowledge, a righteous deed, and a source of sustenance and fullness.” Something of this supplication has come specifically for the water of Zamzam, or otherwise.
What is prescribed is that you say, “In the name of Allah,” and drink, just as you do with other waters. As for coming and making supplication at Zamzam, this has no basis and no evidence for it; it is a bid'ah (religious innovation).
