 * “God!  I have not taken any reckoning in the world, nor will you take any reckoning from me on the Day of Resurrection.

 Queen Zubeida bint Jafar, the wife of Caliph Haroon Al-Rashid, came to Mecca to perform Hajj.

 He was deeply saddened when he saw the people of Makkah and the pilgrims suffering from water problems.  So, by ordering the digging of a great canal at his own expense, he performed a great deed which will be remembered by the world to come.

 There were one hundred maids in the service of Queen Zubeida who memorized the Holy Qur'an and recited the Holy Qur'an all the time.  The sound of recitation came from his palace like the buzzing of bees.

 When Queen Zubeida saw with her own eyes the difficulties and hardships faced by the pilgrims and the people of Makkah due to the scarcity of water, she decided to build a canal in Makkah.  Now when the canal excavation plan came up, expert engineers were called from different areas.  A canal was planned to be drawn from Jabal Tad in the Haneen Valley, 35 km northeast of Makkah.

 Seventeen million (17,00,000) dinars were spent on this great project.

 When the planning of the canal Zubeida began, the engineer in charge of the project came and said: The work you have ordered requires a lot of money, because to complete it will have to cut huge mountains, rocks.  Will have to break, will have to deal with the difficulties of ups and downs, hundreds of workers will have to work day and night.  The project can then be completed by going somewhere.

 On hearing this, Queen Zubeida said to the Chief Engineer: Start this work, even if it costs one dinar for one stroke of the ax.

 Thus, when the canal project was completed, the organizers and caretakers presented the details of the expenditure in the service of the Queen.  At that time the queen was in her palace on the banks of the river Tigris.  The queen took all the papers and without looking at them opened the river and said:

 God!  I have not taken any reckoning in the world, nor will you take any reckoning from me on the Day of Resurrection. "
