Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: Of the things from Paradise on earth, only this stone (the Black Stone) and the planting of the Ajwa date palm remain; the vessels of Paradise are immersed in the water of the Euphrates three times a day. A man asked: Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: Then what concern do I have if I did not hear it from him? He asked again, and he replied: Then what concern do I have if I did not hear it from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
