It was narrated to me by Harmalah ibn Yahya: Ibn Wahb informed us, Yunus and ‘Amr informed me — (another chain:) And it was narrated to me by Harun ibn Sa‘id al-Ayli: Ibn Wahb narrated to me, ‘Amr informed me, from Ibn Shihab, from Salim, that he narrated to him, saying: ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab kissed the Black Stone, then said: "By Allah, I know well that you are only a stone, and were it not that I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, kissing you, I would not have kissed you." Harun added in his narration: ‘Amr said: And Zayd ibn Aslam narrated to me something similar, from his father Aslam.
