Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: It is established among the people of the Sunnah and the community that the Black Stone neither benefits nor harms, so what is the meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadith narrated by Ibn MajahSunan Ibn Majah 2944Hasan (Darussalam)?
Answer:
The station of the Stone is one of the stations where Allah is worshipped, just as the Ka'bah is a station. The Ka'bah is not worshipped, nor does it benefit or harm, but it is a place for the worship of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). The Stone is likewise one of the stations of Allah[Al-Baqarah 2:158]. The stations mean the markers of worship; these are landmarks for worship and places for worship.
And it does not benefit or harm. Allah is the One who harms and benefits. But we worship Allah at these places where He has prescribed for us to worship Him. These places testify on the Day of Resurrection, except for the Stone. The places testify on the Day of Resurrection regarding the good or evil done upon them. At that time, they will speak of their news, for your Lord has inspired them. The places, the stones, the trees, and the mountains testify against the people on the Day of Resurrection regarding their deeds.

This Stone will be brought on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be given two eyes with which to see, and a tongue with which to speak, and it will bear witness for those who touched it in sincerity.
ليأتين هذا الحجر يوم القيامة وله عينان يبصر بهما، ولسان ينطق به، يشهد على من يستلمه بحقAnswer:
