Did the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the virtue of the Black Stone (that Allah will raise the Stone on the Day of Resurrection, and it will have…) come from him?

Question:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Is this authentic? And if it is authentic, please explain it to us? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, it is a report that came from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but I do not recall its status regarding its authenticity or lack thereof right now. However, the Black Stone is one of the symbols of Allah, and our Lord has prescribed for us to touch it and kiss it during the tawaf as an act of worship to Allah. We are to begin the tawaf from the point opposite it; starting the tawaf from the point opposite it is obligatory. As for kissing it, touching it, or pointing to it from a distance, this is recommended, accompanied by the takbir, saying “Bismillah, Allahu Akbar” when one touches it, or when one kisses it, or when one points to it. All of this is recommended. As for starting the tawaf from it and ending the lap with it, this is obligatory; the tawaf is not valid without it. The Stone is one of the symbols of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and it has a great virtue. 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “I know that you are a stone that neither benefits nor harms,” . So the matter is based on what is established by the texts; it is built upon what is established by the texts, and acts of worship are built upon what is established by the texts. So Allah, Exalted and Majestic, commanded us to revere this Stone, to kiss it, to touch it, to begin our tawaf from it, and to end it with it. So we comply with the command of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
