Muwatta 1066

The first hadith in the chapter on kissing the Black Stone in touching it. Malik transmits from Hisham ibn Urwa, from his father, that Umar ibn al-Khattab (may God be pleased with him) said, while circumambulating the House, to the Black Stone: you are only a stone, and if I had not seen the Messenger of God ﷺ kiss you I would not kiss you; then he kissed it. The editor notes that the hadith is relayed in Malik's Muwatta; that Ibn Wahb transmitted it from Yunus and Amr ibn al-Harith from Ibn Shihab from Salim from his father, and from Zayd ibn Aslam from his father from Umar; that the relayed version is more sound because of the corroboration by Mamar, Ibn Uyayna and Ibn Jurayj; and that the connected version is from Suwayd ibn Ghafla from Umar. ¹
