Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the Quraysh of Makkah intended to lift the Black Stone and place it in its position, a dispute arose among them. So they said that the person who comes out first from this alley will decide among us. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was the first person who came to them. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) decided among them in such a way that all the people should place the Black Stone on a cloth together, and then all the tribes should lift that cloth collectively.
