Quraysh's dispute over who should place the stone and the lickers of blood
[ اخْتِلَافُ قُرَيْشٍ فِيمَنْ يَضَعُ الْحَجَرَ وَلُعْقَةَ الدَّمِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ إنَّ الْقَبَائِلَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ جَمَعَتْ الْحِجَارَةَ لِبِنَائِهَا، كُلُّ قَبِيلَةٍ تَجْمَعُ عَلَى حِدَةٍ، ثُمَّ بَنَوْهَا، حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْبُنْيَانِ مَوْضِعَ الرُّكْنِ، فَاخْتَصَمُوا فِيهِ، كُلُّ قَبِيلَةٍ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَرْفَعَهُ إلَى مَوْضِعِهِ دُونَ الْأُخْرَى، حَتَّى تَحَاوَزُوا وَتَحَالَفُوا، وَأَعَدُّوا لِلْقِتَالِ، فَقَرَّبَتْ بَنُو عَبْدِ الدَّارِ جَفْنَةً مَمْلُوءَةً دَمًا، ثُمَّ تَعَاقَدُوا هُمْ وَبَنُو عَدِيِّ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، وَأَدْخَلُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ الدَّمِ فِي تِلْكَ الْجَفْنَةِ، فَسُمُّوا لَعَقَّةَ الدَّمِ. فَمَكَثَتْ قُرَيْشٌ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ لَيَالٍ أَوْ خَمْسًا، ثُمَّ إنَّهُمْ اجْتَمَعُوا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، وَتَشَاوَرُوا وَتَنَاصَفُوا
Translation
✧ [Quraysh's Dispute over Who Would Place the Stone and the Blood Oath] Ibn Isḥāq said: Then the clans of Quraysh gathered the stones for its building, each clan gathering on its own, then they built it, until the building reached the place of the corner. Then they disputed over it, each clan wanting to raise it to its place to the exclusion of the others, until they provoked one another and swore oaths, and prepared for fighting. Banū ʿAbd al-Dār brought forward a bowl filled with blood, then they and Banū ʿAdī b. Kaʿb b. Luʾayy made a pact for death, and they inserted their hands into that blood in that bowl, so they were called the Lickers of the Blood. Quraysh remained in that state for four nights or five, then they gathered in the mosque, and took counsel together and dealt fairly with one another.
