The Meaning of the Hadith: "The Water of Zamzam is for what it is drunk for"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), "The water of Zamzam is for whatever it is drunk for," does the phrase "for whatever it is drunk for" mean specifically for bodily matters, such as quenching thirst and healing, or is it general for all matters, such as intending by drinking it to increase one's pursuit of knowledge and gain memorization, as well as to increase one's provision and so on?

Answer:
"For whatever it is drunk for." The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) stated this in general terms, so we do not restrict it to certain matters and say that it is necessary for such and such. It is for whatever it is drunk for.
