: During the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in Islam, after the reconstruction of the Holy Kaaba, there was a conflict among the Quraish about who would replace Hazrat Aswad in the previous place. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) took off the veil of his body and left the Aswad in it and told all the tribal chiefs to hold the veil and put an end to the conflict. [2] This sacred stone is 6 inches long and 6 inches wide. At present it is eight pieces. [1] Before Hajre Aswad was a whole stone. During the reign of Hazrat Abdullah bin Zubayr, when fire broke out in Kaaba Sharif, Hazrat Aswad was reduced to a few pieces. Abdullah bin Jobay then tied the broken pieces to a silver frame. During the frame version, a few pieces are inserted inside the limestone. At present eight pieces of Hazre Aswad can be seen. The larger piece is the size of a date. [2]
