The Ghars Well (also known as Bir Ghars) is a very important well in Islamic history which is connected to the Seerah, The Life of The Prophet Muhammed, Peace and Blessings of God Be Upon Him (PBUH).
It is located in the Blessed City of Madinah, close to Masjid Quba and The Garden of Salman Al Farsi (RA).
The Ghars Well was one of the well perferred by The Prophet (PBUH) due to its freshness and was said to have drank water and performed ablution from the well.
It is reported is reported by the Blessed Companion of The Prophet (PBUH), Ali ibn Abu Talib (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) said: “When I die, wash me with seven water-skins from al-Ghars Well. He also used to drink from this well.” [Ibn Majah].
