Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Prophets Having a Tent For Them in the Place of the Holy House From Abi Jafar Al-Bâqir (PUH) from his fathers (PUT): God sent to Gabriel (PUH) that I had mercy upon Adam and Eve so get them a tent from the tents of paradise and make it stand in the place of the House and its base that was lifted before by the Angels, and so did Gabriel, and made a stand for it in the place of the House then he got them down from Al-Safâ and Al-Marwah and gathered them together in the tent.

The pillar of the tent was made of ruby and its light enlightened the mounts of Mecca, and the light reached the borders of Al-Haram, and it is the position of Al-Haram nowadays [meaning borders of Mecca maybe?], and so God made it sacred for the tent and the pillar that are from paradise. Then the tent was stretched and the end of the tent's ropes were the mosque and it is Al-Masjid Al-Harâm (the Holy "Sacred" Mosque).

Then God revelaed seventy thousands angels to guard the tent against demons and cheer Adam and Eve, and so they were going around the tent and guard it. It is probable that God after that sent to Gabriel (PUH) to get down to Adam and Eve and make them depart the place of the House and build it with stones and raise up its basis and complete it for the rest of the Angels and the creation of Adam's descendants.

So he got down to them and made them out of the tent and moved them away from the House and the tent as well.

Then Gabriel raised the basis of the House by a stone from Al-Safâ, and a stone from Al-Marwah, and a stone from the mount of Sinai, and a stone from the mount of Al-Salâm [Al-Salâm means The Peace] and it is at the hind of the House at the back of Kaba, and made these stones the corners of the Holy House, and so he completed it by stones from the mount of Abi-Qubays as he was commanded by God, and made for it two doors, to the east and to the west.

When he was done with its building, Angels started to go around it and when Adam and Eve saw that, they also started going around it seven by seven and it is the law that went on in his (Adam) descendants until the doomsday. And in Ilal Al-Sharâye' (Reasons of Laws) from Bakeer ben A'yon he said: Abu 'Abdullah Al-Sâdiq (PUH) said to me: do you know what it was the black stone in the Holy corner of Kaba?
