The virtues of the Black Stone include: 1- It was sent down by Allah to this earth from Paradise. 2- It was whiter than milk, but the sins of the sons of Adam made it black. 3- It will come forth on the Day of Resurrection and will testify in favour of those who touched it in truth. 4- The Prophet kissed it, and his Ummah followed his lead in doing so. 5- Touching it is a means of expiating sins.

Allah provided water for Prophet Isma`il and his mother with Zamzam water. The heart of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was washed with Zamzam water. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drank it, did wudu with it and poured it on his head.
