Umar b. al-Khattib (radiyallahu anhu) kissed (the Black Stone) and then said: By Allah, I know that you are a stone and if I were not to see the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) kissing you, I would not have kissed you. Harun said in his narration: A hadith like this has been transmitted to me by Zaid ibn Aslam on the authority of his father Aslam.

কুতায়বাহ ইবনু সাঈদ ও ইবনু রুমূহ (রহঃ) .. 'আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু বুহায়নাহ্ আল আসদী (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, (একদিন) রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম যুহরের সালাতে (দু রাকাআতের পর) না বসেই দাঁড়িয়ে গেলেন সালাত শেষ করে, অর্থাৎ- সালাতের শেষ পর্যায়ে তিনি সালাম ফিরানোর পূর্বে ভুলে যাওয়া বৈঠকের পরিবর্তে বসে বসেই দু'টি সিজদা করলেন এবং প্রতিটি সাজদাতেই তাকবীর বললেন। লোকজন সবাই তার সাথে সাথে সাজাদাহ দুটি করলেন। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১১৫০. ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

لیث نے ابن شہاب سے ، انھوں نےاعرج سے اور انھوں نے حضرت عبداللہ بن بحسینہ اسدی ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سے ، جو بنو بعدالمطلب کے حلیف تھے ، روایت کی کہ رسول اللہ ﷺ ظہر کی نماز میں ، جب آپ کو ( دوسری رکعت کےبعد ) بیٹھنا تھا ، کھڑے ہوگئے ، پھر جب آپ نے اپنی نماز مکمل کر لی تو آپ نے بیٹھے بیٹھے ہر سجدے کے لیے تکبیر کہتےہوئے سلام سے پہلے دو سجدے کیے ، اور لوگوں نے بھی ( تشہد کے لیے ) بیٹھے کی جگہ ، جو آپ بھول گئے تھے ، آپ کے ساتھ د و سجدے کیے ۔

Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Qutaibah bin Sa'id] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Laits] dia berkata, --Lewat jalur periwayatan lain-- dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Rumh] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [al-Laits] dari [Ibnu Syihab] dari [al-A'raj] dari [Abdullah bin Buhainah al-Asdi yaitu kawan yang telah bersumpah setia dengan Bani Abdul Muththalib], "Bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu'alaihiwasallam pernah shalat Zhuhur, dalam shalat itu beliau langsung berdiri, padahal seharusnya duduk (tasyahud awal).

Maka ketika shalat telah cukup (empat raka'at), maka beliau bersujud dua kali dengan membaca takbir setiap kali sujud, yaitu ketika duduk sebelum salam. Orang-orang ikut pula sujud bersama-sama dengan beliau, yaitu pengganti tasyahud awal yang terlupa

What it means

‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb, Commander of the Believers, (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Black Stone in the corner of the Ka‘bah and kissed it. He, then, said: Verily, I know that you are a stone that can neither harm nor benefit. Had I not seen the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) kissing you, I would not have kissed you.

What it teaches

  • The permissibility of kissing the Black Stone for those performing Tawāf (circumambulation) when they pass by it, if it can be done easily.
  • The purpose of kissing the Black Stone is to follow the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
  • An-Nawawi said: It means that it has no power to bring benefit or harm; it is a created stone like other creations that neither harm nor benefit. ‘Umar proclaimed this during the season so that people from various lands would hear it and preserve it from him.
  • Acts of worship are Tawqīfi (determined by divine texts), therefore, nothing thereof is legitimate except what has been prescribed by Allah and His Messenger.
  • If an act of worship is authentically established, it should be practiced even if its wisdom is not known, for one of the intended purposes is people's compliance and obedience in performing it.
  • The prohibition of kissing stones or other objects as an act of worship unless prescribed in the Shariah.
