Al Foqair Well

This well is linked to Salman Al-Farsi, the Persian companion of the Prophet Muhammad, who was enslaved in Al Madinah. Peace be upon him. After accepting Islam, his Jewish owner demanded 40 ounces of gold and the planting of 300 palm trees for his freedom. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and his companions took part in planting the trees, and by divine blessing, all of them bore fruit within a year, granting Salman Al-Farsi his freedom.

Over the centuries, Al Foqair Well was preserved and maintained. In the Saudi era, it was restored, its water extracted, and the surrounding area redeveloped to accommodate visitors. Today, it stands as a cultural and historical landmark, narrating one of the most inspiring stories of faith and perseverance from the Prophetic era.
