     His Majesty King (Abdul-Aziz Ben Saud)- May Allah have mercy on him- made the Al-Azizia Spring project an outstanding endowment (Waqf) for Jeddah, its population, visitors, pilgrimages and those who come to it, to be an ongoing charity with flowing goodness for people and great reward to its founder and the one who made its water to run with the aid of his God, accomplishing the saying of our Honorable Prophet "Salla Allah alihewasallam" Prayers and Peace be upon him - when asked about charity is the best? he said: " Giving water to the thirsty ".
People of Jeddah celebrated in their great festival which they held on the occasion of delivering water to Jeddah, on Tuesday (the Fifth of Muharram in the year 1367 Hijri- corresponding 19 November 1947 A.D.), which was attended by Princes, Senior State Officials, Foreigner Communities, Consuls of States and a large audience of people, the celebrants wrote a historical document in which they showed the joy of the nation with this great project, this is its text:

" I seek the refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan 
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate
Braise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, Prayers by Allah be upon our Prophet Mohammad and his household and Companions all.
And…, Allah Subahanah W Ta'ala said in His Glorified Book: "There is no good in most of their secret talks save (in) him who orders Sadaqah (charity in Allâh's Cause), or Ma'roûf (Islamic Monotheism and all the good and righteous deeds which Allâh has ordained), or conciliation between mankind…".
Allah Subahanah W Taala also said, praising water: "And We have made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?"
The Prophet " Salla Allah alihewasallam" Prayers and Peace be upon him, said: When a man dies, his deeds are cut off except for three: Continuing charity, knowledge that others benefit from and a righteous son supplicates for him).
And " Salla Allah alihewasallam" Prayers and Peace be upon him said: (The best charity is Giving water to the thirsty).   
 

     Thus, His Majesty, King Abdul-Aziz Ben Abd Al-Rahman Al-Faysal Al-Saud, King of The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, wished to get a share in the rewards Allah prepared for charitable men, he was keen to provide the means of comfort and reassurance for his honorable people and the delegations to the safe Home of Allah, and because the City of Jeddah lived such long centuries deprived from potable water for its people to drink from except for rain water gathered in the cisterns or what is distilled from salty sea water by new technical machinesthis city has lived all those years anguish severely the pains of deprivation from the substance of life which no life for people with Allah's command except with it, and no stability for them except through the availability and existence of it, thus, he ordered- May Allah save him and lengthen his happy life- that the amounts enough for the drinking of the city of Jeddah from the Springs of Fatema Valley to be bought, and this water to be pulled from it and it is sixty-five kilometers far, from Jeddah into the city, so that the residents of the state, pilgrimages, and visitors drink from it, all that on the cost of His Majesty and at his own expense, in a Hadith of the Prophet" Salla Allah alihewasallam" Prayers and Peace be upon him (Whichever believer gives drink to a thirsty believer, Allah gives him to drink from the 'sealed nectar' on the Day of Resurrection), how would it be for who gave a drink to thousands and thousands of Muslims?!
 

     Thus, His Excellency Minister of Finance, Shaikh Abdu-Allah. Al-Soliman The Grandest, has undertaken implementing the SupremeRoyal Wish, since he is Spring-known for his spunk and mettle, in this precious historical mission, with all efforts it undertakes, may Allah rewards him and all those who worked on it the best reward. It is on Tuesday 5/1 (Muharram)/1967 Hijri this water has reached the City of Jeddah, and this holly hour in which water reached this city, is really a great historical one, so that all classes of the Saudi people has participated celebrating it, princes, ministers, elite, workers and people, all feel the greatest joy for the success of this grand project.
 

     Hence we record this Historical Document in this great situation, we ask Allah Ta'ala to lengthen the age of His Majesty, King Abdul-Aziz Ben Abd Al-Rahman Al-Faysal Al-Saud, and to much reward him the utmost fulfilled reward and the good reward, and to guarantee rewarding him for the Muslims with Paradise Amen, Oh Allah Amen".
