early
days when prophet sallalla ho allihi wasalam migrated to madina,
muslims had to face great difficulty to get drinking water. There was
no
well surrounding muslims population except well of romma which was the
property of a jew and he used to sell water at a very high cost.
Muslims
were no able to purchase so costly water.Prophet sallala ho allihi
wasalam
wanted to purchase that well for muslims.He sallalla hi allihi wasalam
said that the person who would purchase that well for their
muslim
brothers , would get a river in heaven after death. At this occasion
