The well of Ma'unah
Historical Overview:
The Well of Ma'unah is located between Bani `Amir and Hirrah (volcanic and stony area) of Bani Salim, but it is nearer to the latter. Also, it is said it is located in the way of Al Mas`ad between Madinah and Mecca and it is owned by Bani Salim.
Current Location:
The Well of Ma'unah is located in "Abli" which is a black mountain chain located west of Al Mahd "previously known as Ma'aden Bani Salim" to the north, and connected to the west by the great Hirrah (volcanic and stony area) of Al Hijaz, which is known today as Diyar Mutair.
