The stone is said to be a precious stone of paradise that fell with Adam, was preserved through or after the Deluge, and was brought by Gabriel to Abraham; it was originally whiter than milk but became black through alternative causes including a menstruous woman's touch, human sins, or repeated touches and kisses, while its inside remains white.
The black stone is said to be a precious stone of paradise, to have descended with Adam, and to have been brought by Gabriel to Abraham.
