It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Black Corner and the Station of Ibrahim are two rubies from among the rubies of Paradise."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that, swearing by Allah three times and placing his fingers in his ears, he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The Black Corner and the Station of Ibrahim are two rubies from among the rubies of Paradise. Allah Almighty has extinguished their light, and had that not been so, they would have illuminated everything between the east and the west." This hadith is a supporting narration (shahid) for the hadith of al-Zuhri from Musafi'.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, this stone (the Black Stone) has a tongue and two lips, and on the Day of Resurrection it will testify truthfully in favour of the one who touched it (by kissing or wiping it)." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. It also has an authentic supporting narration (shahid):

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, the Black Stone will come bigger than Mount Abu Qubays. It will have a tongue and two lips, and it will speak about the one who touched it with a sincere intention. It is the (figurative) right hand of Allah with which He shakes hands with His creation." A detailed supporting narration (shahid) of this hadith has also been reported, but it does not meet the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), because they did not use Abu Harun Umarah bin Juwayn al-Abdi as evidence:

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him): We performed Hajj with Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). When he entered the tawaf, he stood facing the Black Stone and said: "I know well that you are merely a stone that can neither harm nor benefit, and had I not seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) kiss you, I would never have kissed you." Then he kissed it. Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Rather, O Commander of the Believers, it does indeed harm and benefit." He asked: "On what basis do you say this?" He replied: "On the basis of the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic." He asked: "Where is this stated in the Book of Allah?" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Allah Almighty says: "And when your Lord took from the children of Adam, from their backs, their descendants, and made them testify about themselves: Am I not your Lord? They all said: Yes indeed! (we testify)." [Surah al-A'raf: 172] Allah created Adam (peace be upon him) and passed His hand over his back, and made them affirm that He is the Lord and that they are all His servants. Then He took their covenants and pledges from them and wrote them in a scroll. At that time this stone had two eyes and a tongue, and Allah said to it: Open your mouth. It opened its mouth, and Allah placed that scroll in its mouth and said: On the Day of Resurrection, bear witness to the faithfulness of whoever comes to you. And I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "On the Day of Resurrection the Black Stone will be brought, and it will have a most eloquent tongue that will testify to tawhid in favour of the one who touched it." So, O Commander of the Believers, it does indeed benefit and harm. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I seek refuge with Allah from living among a people in which you are not present, O Abu al-Hasan (Ali)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Sa'ib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I was among those who built the House of Allah. I took a stone, levelled it, and placed it beside the House of Allah. He says: I used to worship it (in the time of Ignorance), to the extent that if there was any fine thing in the house, I would send it to it, until one day I had some good milk, and I poured it over it. Then, when Quraysh intended to build the House of Allah, they disagreed over placing the Black Stone, until swords were about to be drawn between them. Then they said: Make the first person who enters through this door (the judge) between you. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered, and they cried out: This is "al-Amin" (the Trustworthy), (for in the time of Ignorance they used to call him (peace and blessings be upon him) al-Amin). They said: O Muhammad, we are pleased with you. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for a cloth, spread it out, and placed the Black Stone in it. Then he said to these various clans: "Let every clan among you take hold of a corner of the cloth." They did so, then they lifted it, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) placed it (in its appointed spot) with his own blessed hand. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. It also has an authentic supporting narration (shahid) on his condition:

It is narrated from Khalid bin Ar'arah that he said: When Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, the people were greatly frightened that day, and the drawing of swords among us became a very serious matter, so I stayed sitting in my house. Then I had some business in the market, so I went out, and I saw some people sitting in the shade of the palace, about forty men, and there was a chain placed across the door. I wanted to enter, but the doorkeeper stopped me. Those people said: "Let the man in." So I entered, and there were the nobles and dignitaries of the people. Then a handsome man came, dressed in a suit of garments, with neither a shirt nor a turban on him, and he sat down; he was Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him). Then he said: When Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) intended to build the House of Allah, he felt some difficulty (in the matter of its plan), so Allah Almighty sent the "Sakinah", which was a strong wind. It coiled up (over the foundations of the House of Allah) in a circle, and he began to lay one course (a layer of the wall) upon it every day, while Makkah was intensely hot. When he reached the place of the Black Stone, he said to Sayyiduna Isma'il (peace be upon him): Go and look for a stone so that I may place it here. So he went roaming about the mountains. Meanwhile, Jibril (peace be upon him) brought the Black Stone and placed it. When Isma'il (peace be upon him) came, he asked: Who brought this? Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said: It was brought by the One who did not rely on my building nor on yours. In short, he built it. Then it collapsed, and the Amalekites built it; then it fell down, and the tribe of Jurhum built it; then it collapsed, and the tribe of Quraysh built it. When they were about to place the Black Stone, they quarrelled among themselves, and they said: The first person to come out of this door will place it. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out from the direction of the Gate of Banu Shaybah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that a cloth be spread out and placed the Black Stone in its middle. Then he ordered one man from every branch of Quraysh to take hold of a corner of the cloth. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) lifted it with his blessed hand and placed it (in its spot). The two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) agreed on recording the long hadith in which Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates the story of Ibrahim, the Friend of Allah (peace be upon him), building the Ka'bah for the very first time; however, this (present) hadith is different from that one.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the stoning of the Jamarat, the tawaf of the House of Allah, and the sa'i between Safa and Marwah have been prescribed only to establish the remembrance of Allah Almighty." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tawaf of the House of Allah is just like prayer, except that Allah Almighty has made speaking lawful for you in it; so whoever speaks, let him speak only what is good."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, tawaf of the House of Allah is like prayer, except that you speak in it; so whoever speaks, let him speak only what is good." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it, and a group has also narrated it as mawquf (a statement of the Companion).
