Said, a caretaker at the Sultan Hanafi Mosque in Sayeda Zeinab drops a bucket through a trap door in the floor. The keepers of the mosque say this well connects to an underground river that reaches all the way to Mecca. So the water has the same taste and blessings as the Zam Zam water from the al-Haram Mosque. During the week people from the neighborhood stop by for a bottle of the blessed water, on weekends and holidays larger groups stop by and drink directly from the bucket.
