It is narrated from Abu Saeed Khudri that: “I performed Hajj in the company of Umar bin Khattab. When he was circumambulating Kaaba, he addressed Hajar al-Aswad: ‘No doubt, I know that you are a stone and can neither benefit anyone nor harm anyone. Had I not seen Allah’s Apostle kissing you, I would not have kissed you.’
Then he kissed it. Ali Ibne Abi Talib said: ‘On the contrary, it gives benefits and harm, if you only knew from the interpretation of Book of Almighty Allah, in which He says:
“And when your Lord brought forth from the children of Adam, from their backs, their descendants, and made them bear witness against their own souls.” (Surah Araaf 7:172 )
Then when they confessed that He is the Lord and they are servants, He wrote their covenant on a white sheet and placed it in the mouth of this stone. Indeed, on Judgment Day, this stone will be raised and it would be having a pair of eyes, tongue and lips; and it will testify in favor of those, who honored the covenant.
Thus, on the basis of Quran, this stone is the trustee of Almighty Allah.’ Umar said: ‘O Abul Hasan, may God not keep me alive in the land, where you are not present.’”
It is mentioned in another version that he said: “O Abul Hasan, I seek refuge of God from living in a nation, in which you are not present.”
(Mustadrak Alas Saheehain, 1:457 [1/628, H. 1682]; Tareekh Umar bin Khattab, Ibne Jauzi, 106 [Pg. 115]; Kanzul Ummaal, 3:35 [5/177, H. 12521]; Sharh Nahjul Balagha, 3:122 [12/100, Sermon 223])
Then he kissed it. Ali Ibne Abi Talib said: ‘On the contrary, it gives benefits and harm, if you only knew from the interpretation of Book of Almighty Allah, in which He says:
