The incident of Hajr-e-Aswad (Black Stone) occurred when the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was 35 years old. This event is a significant moment in Islamic history that took place five years before the commencement of his Prophethood. At that time, the Quraysh were rebuilding the Kaaba after it was damaged due to a flood. When the time came to place the sacred Black Stone back into its position, a dispute arose among the tribal leaders regarding who had the honor to do it.

To resolve this conflict peacefully, the elders decided that the next person to enter the Haram would make the final decision. That person happened to be the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). His wisdom and fairness were recognized even before he received revelation, and he was called “Al-Ameen” (The Trustworthy) by the people of Makkah.

He proposed a solution that all accepted: placing the Hajr-e-Aswad on a cloth and allowing representatives of each tribe to hold a corner of it. Then, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) himself placed the stone into its position. This wise resolution averted a major conflict and is often cited as an early example of his exceptional leadership, justice, and diplomacy.
