The Shaykh : I read in *Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah*, Volume 3, up to its end: , so what is the meaning of the second part of the hadith: ?
For that, one should refer to the book *Al-Nihayah fi Gharib al-Hadith* by Ibn al-Athir; for I am not recalling the answer.
The best water on the face of the earth is the water of Zamzam; in it is food from hunger and healing from sickness. And the worst water on the face of the earth is the water of the valley of Barahut, the remnant of Hadramawt, like a man of locusts from the crawling creatures; it flows in the morning and in the evening there is no water in it.
خير ماء على وجه الأرض ماء زمزم ، فيه طعام من الطعم ، وشفاء من السقم ، وشر ماء على وجه الأرض ماء بوادي برهوت بقية حضرموت كرجل جراد من الهوام ، يصبح يتدفَّق ويمسي لا بِلال بهاAnd the worst water
وشر ماءFor that, one should refer to the book *Al-Nihayah fi Gharib al-Hadith* by Ibn al-Athir; for I am not recalling the answer.
