1873. 'Ābis bin Rabī'ah narrated that 'Umar, may Allāh be pleased with him, came to the (Black) Stone and kissed it, then said: "I know that you are only a stone that can neither benefit nor harm (anything). And were it not for the fact that I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ kiss you, I would not kiss you." (Ṣāḥih)
1873 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَابِسِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ جَاءَ إِلَى الْحَجَرِ فَقَبَّلَهُ، فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ لَا تَنْفَعُ وَلَا تَضُرُّ وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ»
