Quraysh's Building of the Kaʿbah and the Prophet's ﷺ Judgment Among Them in Placing the Stone
[ إشَارَةُ أَبِي أُمِّيَّةَ بِتَحْكِيمِ أَوَّلِ دَاخِلٍ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ] فَزَعَمَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الرِّوَايَةِ: أَ نَّ أَبَا أُمِّيَّةَ بْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرِ بْنِ مَخْزُومٍ، وَكَانَ عَائِذٌ أَسَنَّ قُرَيْشٍ كُلِّهَا؛ قَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ، اجْعَلُوا بَيْنَكُمْ فِيمَا تَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ بَابِ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ يَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمْ فِيهِ، فَفَعَلُوا. فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ دَاخِلٍ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ؛ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ قَالُوا: هَذَا الْأَمِينُ، رَضِينَا، هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ؛ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إلَيْهِمْ وَأَخْبَرُوهُ الْخَبَرَ، قَالَ ﷺ: هَلُمَّ إلَيَّ ثَوْبًا، فَأُتِيَ بِهِ، فَأَخَذَ الرُّكْنَ فَوَضَعَهُ فِيهِ بِيَدِهِ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: لِتَأْخُذَ كُلُّ قَبِيلَةٍ بِنَاحِيَةٍ مِنْ الثَّوْبِ، ثُمَّ ارْفَعُوهُ جَمِيعًا، فَفَعَلُوا: حَتَّى إذَا بَلَغُوا بِهِ مَوْضِعَهُ، وَضَعَهُ هُوَ بِيَدِهِ، ثُمَّ بَنَى عَلَيْهِ.
Translation
✧ [The proposal of Abū Umayyah to arbitrate by the first person to enter, who was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ] Some of the narrators claimed that Abū Umayyah b. al-Mughīrah b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUmar b. Makhzūm, who was the eldest of all Quraysh, said: O assembly of Quraysh, appoint as judge among you regarding that in which you differ the first person who enters from the gate of this mosque, to decide among you in it; and they did so. The first to enter upon them was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When they saw him, they said: This is the trustworthy one (al-Amīn); we are pleased; this is Muḥammad. When he reached them and they told him the news, he ﷺ said: Bring me a garment. It was brought to him, and he took the cornerstone and placed it in it with his own hand. Then he said: Let each tribe take hold of one side of the garment, then raise it all together. So they did, until when they had brought it to its place, he placed it with his own hand, then built upon it.
