Another date garden and another well

Opposite to Hazrat Salman Farsi, r.a.'s well and home area is a vast date garden. The pictures were not clear enough so havent posted them but did want to add this information. That date garden was planted by the Prophet s.a.w., himself. Since Hazrat Salman, r.a. was a slave, the Jew who was his master demanded that a date garden be planted. When the trees bore fruit, he would release him. The Prophet s.a.w., planted the seeds himself, yet in the dark of the night the man removed those seeds. However the morning showed a full grown garden of palm trees. That was a miracle of the Prophet, s.a.w.


Then we have here the Beer-e-gharas



Madina needed a sweet water well. This was dug by the Prophet, s.a.w. The water did spring forth but was bitter. The Prophet s.a.w. touched his saliva to it and the water turned sweet. The water from this well was used to give the Prophet, s.a.w., his last bath.

The well is still active but a boundry has been built around it to stop people. I pushed my hands through this hole in the boundry, holding on to my camera for dear life! The original stones can be seen, though not very visible in the picture. The bricks were set later to give hold to the walls.
