According to the Hadith, Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Abbaas (Radhiallaahu Anhu)
narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ‘Hajr-e-Aswad
(the black stone) was revealed from Jannat and it was whiter than milk.
Thereafter, the sins of man had blackened it.’ (Tirmidhi vol.1 pg.166; HM
Saeed)
In another Hadith, Abdullah ibn Amr (Radhiallaahu Anhu) says, ‘I heard the
messenger of Allah saying, ‘Verily the Rukn (Hajr-e-Aswad) and the Maqaam
(Ibraahim) are two precious stones from amongst the precious stones of
Jannat. Allah Ta’ala took away its Noor (light). Had Allah not taken away
its light then these two would have brightened up the east and west.’ (Ibid)
According to some narrations, the Hajr-e-Aswad was originally placed in its
place by Jibraaeel (Alayhis salaam) and Ibraahim (Alayhis salaam) had built
the Ka’abah upon it.’ (Dars-e-Tirmidhi vol.3 pg.37). Thereafter, the Ka’abah
had been reconstructed many times but the Hajr-e-Aswad remained.
