Naming the Stone the Stone of Isma'il

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people call the Stone the Stone of Isma'il. Is this correct?

Answer:
This is an incorrect name. What is the Stone of Isma'il? It is the Black Stone or al-Hatim. It was named al-Hatim because it was cut from the Ka'bah or the Stone. As for the Stone of Isma'il, we do not know of this name, nor do we know a reason for it. In fact, it may stem from a superstition, namely that they say Isma'il is buried in the Stone, or they say that fifteen or twenty prophets are all buried in the Stone.
