Members of Makkah’s famous Zamazima families (traditional distributors of Zamzam water) distribute water among pilgrims. Distribution of Zamzam water to pilgrims became the privileged service of certain families in Makkah, who inherited the tradition from their ancestors. According to history, this tradition goes back to the period of Abdul Muttalib Bin Hashim, grandfather of the Prophet (peace be upon him). — SPA
