A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr from âAbd Allah ibn Bukayr from al-Halabiy who has said the following: âI once asked abu âAbd Allah (a.s.), âWhy should one touch (kiss) the Stone?â He (the Imam) replied, âWhen Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, made a covenant with the children of Adam, He called the Stone from paradise and gave it a command.
It swallowed up (fed it to itself) the covenant and it will testify in favor of those who comply with safe return of the trust.ââ Ø´ÙÙر - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (MirʾÄt al-Ê¿UqÅ«l fÄ« Sharḥ AkhbÄr Äl al-RasÅ«l (17/4))
