"لَوْلا مَا طَبَعَ الرُّكْنَ مِنْ أنْجَاسِ الجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَأرْجَاسِهَا وَأيدى الظَّلَمَةِ وَالأثَمَةِ، لاسْتُشْفِى بِهِ مِنَّ كُلِّ عَاهَةٍ، وَلألفِى اليَوْمَ كهَيئَتِهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَهُ الله، وَإنمَا غَيَّرَهُ الله بِالسَّوَاد؛ لِئلَّا يَنْظُرَ أَهْلُ النَّارِ إِلَى زينَةِ الجَنَّةِ وَلَيَصْيُرنَّ إِلَيهَا، وَإنَّهَا لَيَاقُوتَةٌ بَيضَاءُ مِنْ يَاقُوتِ الجَنَّة، وَضَعَهُ الله حِينَ أنزَلَ آدَمَ فِي مَوْضِع الكعْبَةِ قَبْلَ أنْ تَكُونَ الكعْبَةُ، وَالأرْضُ

يَوْمَئِذٍ طَاهِرَةٌ، لَمْ يُعْمَلْ فيهَا شَيءٌ مِنَ المعاصي، وَلَيسَ لَهَا أهْل يُنَجِّسُونَهَا، فَوُضِعَ لَهُ صَنفٌ مِنَ المَلائكَة عَلَى أَطرَافِ الحرم يُحْدِقُون بِهِ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ، وَلِذَلِكَ سُمِّيَ الحَرَمُ؛ لأنَّهُمْ يَحُولُونَ فَيمَا بَينَهُمْ وَبَينَهُ".

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "If it were not for the fact that the corner (of the Kaaba) was stained with the impurities of ignorance and its vices, along with the hands of oppressors and sinners, it would have been sought for curing every ailment. And today it would have remained as it was on the day Allah created it. But Allah changed it to black in order for the people of this world not to look at the beauty of Paradise and long for it. Indeed, it (the corner) is a jewel from the jewels of Paradise, and Allah placed it there when He placed Adam at the place of the Kaaba before the Kaaba and the earth even existed. It was pure on that day, and no sins were committed in it, nor were there any people to defile it. So a group of angels was assigned to guard it at the boundaries of the sanctuary, guarding it from the inhabitants of the earth. And on that day, the jinn were the inhabitants, so it was not suitable for them to look at it, because it is something from Paradise. So the angels repel them from it, and they stand at the boundaries of the sanctuary, looking at it from all sides. And that is why it is called the sanctuary, because they turn away anyone who tries to approach it."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْلَا مَا طُبِعَ الرُّكْنُ مِنْ أَنْجَاسِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَأَرْجَاسِهَا وَأَيْدِي الظَّلَمَةِ وَالْأَثَمَةِ لَاسْتُشْفِيَ بِهِ مِنْ كُلِّ عَاهَةٍ وَلَأُبْقِيَ الْيَوْمَ كَهَيْئَةِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَهُ اللهُ وَإِنَّمَا غَيَّرَهُ اللهُ بِالسَّوَادِ لِئَلَّا يَنْظُرَ أَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَى زِينَةِ الْجَنَّةِ وَليَصيرَنَّ إِلَيْهَا وَإِنَّهَا لَيَاقُوتَةٌ مِنْ يَاقُوتِ الْجَنَّةِ وَضَعَهُ اللهُ حِينَ أَنْزَلَ آدَمَ فِي مَوْضِعِ الْكَعْبَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَكُونَ الْكَعْبَةُ وَالْأَرْضُ يَوْمَئِذٍ طَاهِرَةٌ وَلَمْ يُعْمَلْ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْمَعَاصِي وَلَيْسَ لَهَا أَهْلٌ يُنَجِّسُونَها فَوُضِعَ لَهُ صَفٌّ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ عَلَى أَطْرَافِ الْحَرَمِ يَحْرُسُونَهُ مِنْ سُكَّانِ الْأَرْضِ وَسُكَّانُها يَوْمَئِذٍ الْجِنُّ لَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُمْ أَنْ يَنْظُرُوا إِلَيْهِ لِأَنَّهُ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَالْمَلَائِكَةُ يَذُودونَهُمْ عَنْهُ وَهُمْ وُقُوفٌ عَلَى أَطْرَافِ الْحَرَمِ يَحْدِقُونَ بِهِ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ وَلِذَلِكَ سُمِّيَ الْحَرَمُ لِأَنَّهُمْ يَحُولُونَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ»
