The Tuflah Well is one of archeological and historical places. Located on center of small city, Asfan, the well can be reached easily. However, need to arrange carefully if wants to visit other historical place in this city,i.e: Ottoman Fortress. Although the distance from the air is not far between of them, but because of less u-turn on highway, so will taking more effort to reach one of them. The nearest u-turn is 8km on North and 23km on South. . As per historians, when the Prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him was in Asfan and need water, the well was very salty and not able to drink. Then, Rasulullah spitted on the well and the water became fresh and drinkable. Allahu'alam . In this location, will find 2 spots of well. The one is small diameter but very deep, also still draining water. The other one is wide diameter (10m) well and the depth is around 20m, no water inside. Not any clear reference, which one is Tuflah Well exactly. .

Well of Tafla (بئر التفلة) is in Asfan on the way between the capitals of the Islamic world Makkah and Madina. This well though kept in an ignored state now was reportedly did not dry till date after Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) had spit into it. As per historians, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) passed by Asfan while returning from Makkah after the “Bond of Hudaibiyya” with Quryash tribe in 6th year of hijra. When He (صلى الله عليه وسلم) along with 1400 companions reached there the well was dry. He (صلى الله عليه وسلم) spit into it and the water streamed. Asfan was over many centuries in the route commuted by pilgrims to the house of Allah. Even before the era of Islam Prophet Hud (عليه السلام) and Prophet Salih (عليه السلام) had passed through this area. It was though this way the Quraysh caravans of traders used to travel to Sham (present day Syria).
It was dirty and in a worse stand than what most photos show ... According to some scholars & a few family members, the real well is in Madina and is properly maintained.
This is a historic plac in islamic history. But unfortunately ignored and not well maintained by the locsl authorities and also visitors not care about throwing garbage and littering inside the well. But a good thing access is very good with proper asphalt road upto the location via Makkah Madinah Highway in the small village of Usfan/Asfan/Osfan/عسفان۔
An old well located in asfan regions.
A nice place for whom to "feel" on the journey of Prophet Muhammad on the Hijra Road. Unfortunately no maintenance & there is signboard that prohibit trespasser.
as per recent visit on 5.june.2019, the water level was quite low....Alhamdulillah still got the reauired amount! May Allah (S.W.T.) protect this well from drying out.
very nice place
