Musafih bin Shaibah says: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I swear by Allah three times, then he put his fingers in his ears and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: The Black Stone and Maqam Ibrahim are two rubies from the rubies of Paradise. Allah Almighty has extinguished their light; if Allah had not extinguished their light, the space between the east and the west would have been illuminated by their brightness. In another narration: the space between the earth and the sky would have been illuminated.
