Benefits of the Hadith on the Construction of the Ka'bah.

The Shaykh : In this is evidence that the stones of the Ka'bah are ordinary stones from Makkah. As for the Black Stone, it is said that it is an ordinary stone, and it is said that it descended from Paradise, whiter than milk, and that the sins of the children of Adam blackened it. If this is authentic, it is not strange; and if it is not authentic, the original state is that earthly stones are of one another, and we do not assert anything in such great and important matters except with certainty. In it is also the extreme modesty of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), to the extent that when he placed his waist cloth over his shoulder in order to make it easier for him to carry the stones, he (peace and blessings be upon him) fell to the ground because he could not bear it. In the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, they did not care much about covering the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered), and for this reason they would circumambulate naked, with nothing on them. The modest woman, who has complete modesty, would place her hand over her private parts and say: "Today some of it or all of it is visible, and whatever is visible of it, I do not make lawful." If the hand is small, much of it is visible; if it is large, not much is visible except what Allah knows. The important thing is that she says: "Today some of it or all of it is visible, and whatever is visible of it, I do not make lawful". Glory be to Allah, you are walking in front of people naked and you say "I do not make it lawful," while everyone is looking? This is, in reality, due to her ignorance. The connection of this hadith to the chapter is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) participated in the construction of the Ka'bah. Yes.
