Hommam Al Nassim 
Syrian Hajj Ismail al-Zaim, one of the symbols of Medina’s charity, known as “Abu al-Sibaa”, died at the age of 95, as he served tea, coffee, and dates free of charge to visitors to the Prophet’s Mosque.
Hajj Ismail, who was born in the Syrian city of Hama, lived for more than fifty years in Medina, and was famous for sitting on a chair near the Prophet’s Mosque, and he used to put in front of him plates of dates and sweets next to tea and coffee, and served free of charge.
Hajj Ismail died as a result of his advanced age, and prayers were held for his soul in the Prophet’s Mosque, last Tuesday evening, in his honor.
