[Machine] "Indeed, I know that you are a stone that neither benefits nor harms. If I had not seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ kissing you, I would not have kissed you, as mentioned in the narration of Thawri, and in another narration, I saw Umar receiving the stone and saying, 'By Allah, I know that you are a stone, and if I had not seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ kissing you, I would not have kissed you,' then he came forward and kissed it."  

إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ مَا تَنْفَعُ وَلَا تَضُرُّ وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ يَعْلَى رَأَيْتُ عُمَرَ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْحَجَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ فَقَبَّلَهُ  

[Machine] "And he said, 'Verily, I kiss you and I know that you are a stone.' Then he mentioned the narration."  

وَقَالَ إِنِّي لَأُقَبِّلُكَ وَإِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الرِّوَايَةَ  

[Machine] We entered Mecca during the time of the morning sunlight. The Prophet ﷺ came to the gate of the mosque, I held his camel for him, and then he entered the mosque. He began by touching the Black Stone, and he kissed it. Tears flowed from his eyes as he wept. Then he threw pebbles three times and walked around the Kaaba four times until he finished. When he finished, he kissed the Black Stone again and placed his hands on it and wiped his face with them.  

دَخَلْنَا مَكَّةَ عِنْدَ ارْتِفَاعِ الضُّحَى فَأَتَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَابَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتَهُ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَبَدَأَ بِالْحَجَرِ فَاسْتَلَمَهُ وَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ بِالْبُكَاءِ ثُمَّ رَمَلَ ثَلَاثًا وَمَشَى أَرْبَعًا حَتَّى فَرَغَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَبَّلَ الْحَجَرَ وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهِ وَمَسَحَ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ  

A man asked Ibn ʿUmar about the touching of the Black Stone. Ibn ʿUmar said, "I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ touching and kissing it." The questioner said, "But if there were a throng (much rush) round the Kaʿba and the people overpowered me, (what would I do?)" He replied angrily, "Stay in Yemen (as that man was from Yemen). I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ touching and kissing it." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1611)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْتَلِمُهُ وَيُقَبِّلُهُ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إنْ زُحِمْتُ؟ أَرَأَيْتَ إنْ غُلِبْتُ؟ قَالَ اجْعَلْ أَرَأَيْتَ بِالْيَمَنِ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْتَلِمُهُ وَيُقَبِّلُهُ
