Kissing the Black Stone and clarification of its reality
Hadith 9
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ ثنا سُفْيَانُ، ثنا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَرْجِسَ يَقُولُ: رَأَيْتُ الْأُصَيْلِعَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ أَتَي الْحَجَرَ الْأَسْوَدَ فَقَبَّلَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ لَا تَضُرُّ وَلَا تَنْفَعُ، وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ»
Abdullah bin Sarjis narrates: I saw "the one with less hair at the front," Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), come to the Black Stone. He kissed it, then said: "By Allah! I know that you are a stone; you can neither harm nor benefit. If I had not seen the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kissing you, I would not have kissed you."
