Мухамед и Черный Камень

Muslims believe that the Stone fell from Heaven during the time of Adam and Eve, and that it was once a pure and dazzling white, but has turned black because of the sins it has absorbed over the years.

Shia Muslims report that the Black Stone was brought from the Heavenly Garden by the Angel Gabriel who gave it to the Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim) and his son Ishmael (Ismail), Abraham then inserted the stone in its proper place.

Black Stone located at the southeastern part of Kabah, a sign of divine grace. It is a heavy oval stone, of black reddish color. Its diameter is 30 cm, surrounded with a silver frame. The circler is required to kiss the black stone if possible. It is told that Messenger (peace of Allah be upon him) said, "the stone and the station of Abraham are two bequeathed from paradise, but Allah obliterated their light, otherwise they would have lit between east and west". He also said, "when the black stone was lowered from paradise, it was whiter than milk, but the sins of humans made it black".
