Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 808 — What is reported about the Black

It is narrated from Amir al-Mu'minin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he came to the Black Stone (during Tawaf), then he kissed it and said: "Indeed, I know that you are a stone; you can neither harm nor benefit anyone. And if I had not seen the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) kissing you, I would never have kissed you."
