Origin of the Black Stone

Reference: Fawaa.id min Duroos Samaahatish-Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez ibn Baaz – Kitaab al-Mutafarriqaat, Page 94

It has been narrated that al-Hajar al-Aswad[1] descended from Paradise white, then it became black due to the sins of Ahlush-Shirk[2]; And it has [also] been narrated that Ibraaheem (‘alayhis-salaam) brought the Stone from the mountain of Abu Qubays[3], however, the first [narration] is stronger.

أصل الحجر الأسود

المرجع: فوائد من دروس سماحة الشيخ عبد العزيز بن باز – كتاب المتفرقات، ص94

روي أن الحجر الأسود نزل من الجنة أبيضاً ثم سودته ذنوب أهل الشرك، و روي أن الحجر أخذه إبراهيم عليه السلام من جبل أبي قبيس لكن الأول أقوى.
