It was narrated from Salim that his father told him: “Umar bin Al-Khattab kissed the (Black) Stone, then he said: ‘By Allah, I know that you are just a stone, and were it not that I saw the Messenger of Allah (SAW) kissing you I would not have kissed you.’” Harun added in his report: “Amr said: ‘And Zaid bin Aslam narrated a similar report to me from his father.’”
