It was Prophet Abraham who placed it.

According to Islam, it is placed there By Prophet Abraham AS, Jibreel (Gabriel) brought it from heaven directly to Abraham who built the Kaaba. 69.94.41.101 (talk) 12:46, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This tradition is already stated in the article as written. According to the New Encyclopedia of Islam, "Tradition says that Adam placed it in the original Ka'bah. Later it was hidden in the mountain of Abu Qubays. When Abraham rebuilt the Ka'bah, the Angel Gabriel brought the stone out and gave it to him." (pg. 91) -- FPTI (talk) 01:12, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there no primary source/reference? 'tradition' is very vague (i hate that term). I demand a source from a book of the sunnah Formerlychucks (talk) 15:35, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Formerlychucks It is great to hear that you demand a source from the book of the Sunnah. If you find one, please put it in immediately! FPTI (talk) 21:08, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

History (Remove the illustration)

The illustration used in the history is not at all acceptable. And it's hurting Muslim sentiments. Kindly remove the illustration. 103.82.252.232 (talk) 09:55, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As the notice on the top of the talk page says, Attention: If you are here to talk about removing images of Muhammad from Wikipedia articles, please read this article carefully: Wikipedia:WikiProject Islam/Images of Muhammad. Wikipedia is not censored. Thanks. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 11:17, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change " The stone is also thought to be associated with Allat.[35] Muhammad is said to have called the stone "the right hand of al-Rahman"" to "Muhammad is said to have called the stone "the right hand of al-Rahman""

removing the line associated with the source 35. The source reads: "such as Allat's block of granite in her hima at Taif and the black stone in..." This means that a distinction is made between Allat and the black stone. The Wikipedia article assumes that they are the same. Reference 35 has to be removed because it is false.
