Umar came near the Black Stone and kissed it and said, "No doubt, I know that you are a stone and can neither benefit anyone nor harm anyone. Had I not seen Messenger of Allah ﷺ kissing you I would not have kissed you."

أَنَّهُ جَاءَ إِلَى الْحَجَرِ الأَسْوَدِ، فَقَبَّلَهُ فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ لاَ تَضُرُّ وَلاَ تَنْفَعُ وَلَوْلاَ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ».

"I saw ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab kissing the Black Stone and he then said, (to it) 'Had I not seen Allah's Apostle kissing you, (stone) I would not have kissed you.' "

رَأَيْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ قَبَّلَ الْحَجَرَ وَقَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَبَّلَكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ

By Allah, I know that you are a stone and if I were not to see Messenger of Allah ﷺ kissing you, I would not have kissed you. Harun said in his narration: A hadith like this has been transmitted to me by Zaid b. Aslam on the authority of his father Aslam.

قَبَّلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ الْحَجَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ وَلَوْلاَ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ زَادَ هَارُونُ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ قَالَ عَمْرٌو وَحَدَّثَنِي بِمِثْلِهَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَسْلَمَ

I am kissing you, whereas I know that you are a stone, but I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ kissing you (that Is why I kiss you).

أَنَّ عُمَرَ قَبَّلَ الْحَجَرَ وَقَالَ إِنِّي لأُقَبِّلُكَ وَإِنِّي لأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ وَلَكِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُكَ

Abis bin Rabi’ah said on the authority of ‘Umar He(‘Umar) came to the (Black) Stone and said “ I know for sure that you are a stone which can neither benefit nor injure and had I not seen the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ kissing you, I would not have kissed you.”

إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ لاَ تَنْفَعُ وَلاَ تَضُرُّ وَلَوْلاَ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ

"I saw Umar coming to the Stone and saying: 'I know that you are just a stone; had I not seen the Messenger of Allah kiss you I would not have kissed you.' Then he came close to it and kissed it." (Sahih) Chpater 148. How to Kiss It

إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ وَلَوْلاَ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ ثُمَّ دَنَا مِنْهُ فَقَبَّلَهُ

I am kissing you, whereas I know that you are a stone, but I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ kissing you (that Is why I kiss you). (Using translation from Muslim 1270b)

«إِنِّي لَأُقَبِّلُكَ وَإِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ وَلَكِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُكَ»

I know that you are only a stone. Were it not that I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ kiss you, I would not have kissed you.

قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ وَلَوْلا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَبَّلَكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ

My father told me that ‘Umar bin al-Khattab ؓ said to the [Black] Stone; You are only a stone; were it not that I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ kiss you, I would not have kissed you. Then he kissed it.

لِلْحَجَرِ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ حَجَرٌ وَلَوْلا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ ثُمَّ قَبَّلَهُ

I know that you are only a stone and you cannot cause harm or bring benefit. Were it not that I saw the Messenger of Allah( ﷺ )kiss you, I would not have kissed you. Then he kissed it.

إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ لَا تَضُرُّ وَلا تَنْفَعُ وَلَوْلا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَبَّلَهُ

I know that you are only a stone. Were it not that I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ kiss you, I would not have kissed you. (Using translation from Aḥmad 226)

«وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ»

I know that you are only a stone. Were it not that I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ kiss you, I would not have kissed you. (Using translation from Aḥmad 226)

وَقَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ مَا تَنْفَعُ وَمَا تَضُرُّ وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ»

قَالَ لِلْحَجَرِ إِنِّي لَأُقَبِّلُكَ وَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَا نَعْلَمُ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عُمَرَ إِلَّا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِلْحَجَرِ إِنِّي لَأُقَبِّلُكَ وَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَا نَعْلَمُ رَوَاهُ عَنِ ابْنِ خُثَيْمٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ إِلَّا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ

قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ لِلْحَجَرِ إِنِّي لَأُقَبِّلُكَ وَأَعْلَمُ إِنَّكَ حَجَرٌ وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ قَالَ نا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أنا وَرْقَاءُ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بِنَحْوِهِ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ قَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ وُجُوهٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ

قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَن الْجَلالَةِ وَأَنْ يُحْمَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لا نعلَمُ رَوَاهُ عَن أَيُّوبَ عَن نافعٍ عَن ابْنِ عُمَر إلاَّ عَمْرو بْنُ أَبِي قَيْسٍ
