Jurhum Tribe had the well of ZamZam . As
Ishmael (a.s) married a women from that tribe the authority of Makkah went to them.
Still they were nomads and poor , so they started taking money ,bribe forcefully from people.
When they grew hard on that, two tribes Adnan (called kinanah) and Khuzaah who came from far off and settled in Makkah fought with Jurhum tribe and made them to leave Makkah Mukkarramah.

While leaving Makkah, a man named Amr bin Al-Harith bin Mudad Al-Jurhumi from the Jurhum
Tribe closed the ZamZam well by dumping many things including a gazelle made of gold, sword etc.,.
