the water flowed and filled her water-skin to the top, whilst the water
gushed forth with even greater force. Quickly, she drank a handful of
water and then raced to give some to her son. Then Gabriel spoke
saying: "Do not be afraid of perishing here, because it is here that
your son and his father will build a House for Allah. Allah will not let
those around it perish."
