According to [[Ibn Ishaq]], one of the earliest biographers of Muhammad, the Black Stone was important to the Arabian polytheists prior to Muhammad's prophethood. In a famous tale from the [[sira]], Muhammad was requested by the Quraysh to help mediate on how the Black Stone was to be restored to the Ka'bah as it was being reconstructed.

{{Quote|1=[http://www.tafsir.com/default.asp?sid=2&tid=3608 The Dispute regarding Who should place the Black Stone in Its Place]<BR>Tafsir Ibn Kathir|2=Ibn Ishaq said, "The tribes of Quraysh collected stones to rebuild the House, each tribe collecting on their own. They started rebuilding it, until the rebuilding of the Ka`bah reached the point where the Black Stone was to be placed in its designated site. A dispute erupted between the various tribes of Quraysh, each seeking the honor of placing the Black Stone for their own tribe. The dispute almost led to violence between the leaders of Quraysh in the area of the Sacred House. Banu `Abd Ad-Dar and Banu `Adi bin Ka`b bin Lu'ay, gave their mutual pledge to fight until death. However, five or four days later, Abu Umayyah bin Al-Mughirah bin `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Makhzum, the oldest man from Quraysh then intervened at the right moment. Abu Umayyah suggested that Quraysh should appoint the first man to enter the House from its entrance to be a mediator between them. They agreed.
{{Quote|1=Tafsir of ibn Kathir on Surat al-Baqarah (Surah 2) Ayah (verse) 126|2=قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْقَبَائِلَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ جَمَعت الْحِجَارَةَ لِبِنَائِهَا، كُلُّ قَبِيلَةٍ تَجْمَعُ عَلَى حِدَةٍ، ثُمَّ بَنَوْهَا، حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْبُنْيَانُ مَوْضِعَ الرُّكْنِ -يَعْنِي الْحَجَرَ الْأَسْوَدَ -فَاخْتَصَمُوا فِيهِ، كُلُّ قَبِيلَةٍ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَرْفَعَهُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِ دُونَ الْأُخْرَى، حَتَّى تَحَاوَرُوا وَتَخَالَفُوا، 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: لعَقَة الدَّمِ. فَمَكَثَتْ قُرَيْشٌ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ لَيَالٍ أَوْ خَمْسًا. ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمُ اجْتَمَعُوا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَتَشَاوَرُوا وَتَنَاصَفُوا.
فَزَعَمَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الرِّوَايَةِ: أَنَّ أَبَا أُمِّيَّةَ بْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَر بْنِ مَخْزُومٍ -وكان عامئذ أسن قُرَيْشٍ كُلِّهِمْ -قَالَ(١١٠) : يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ، اجْعَلُوا بَيْنَكُمْ فِيمَا تَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ بَابِ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ، يَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمْ، فِيهِ. فَفَعَلُوا، فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ دَاخِلٍ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ. فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ قَالُوا: هَذَا الْأَمِينُ رَضِينَا، هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِمْ وَأَخْبَرُوهُ الْخَبَرَ، قَالَ [رَسُولُ اللَّهِ](١١١) ﷺ: "هَلُمَّ إليَّ ثَوْبًا" فَأُتِي بِهِ، فَأَخَذَ الرُّكْنَ -يَعْنِي الْحَجَرَ الْأَسْوَدَ-فَوَضَعَهُ فِيهِ بِيَدِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: "لِتَأْخُذْ كُلُّ قَبِيلَةٍ بِنَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ الثَّوْبِ"، ثُمَّ [قَالَ](١١٢) : "ارْفَعُوهُ جَمِيعًا". فَفَعَلُوا، حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغُوا بِهِ مَوْضِعَهُ، وَضَعَهُ هُوَ بِيَدِهِ ﷺ، ثُمَّ بَنَى عَلَيْهِ.
وَكَانَتْ قُرَيْشٌ تُسَمِّي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ: الْأَمِينُ.
 
Ibn Ishaq said, "The tribes of Quraysh collected stones to rebuild the House, each tribe collecting on their own. They started rebuilding it, until the rebuilding of the Ka`bah reached the point where the Black Stone was to be placed in its designated site. A dispute erupted between the various tribes of Quraysh, each seeking the honor of placing the Black Stone for their own tribe. The dispute almost led to violence between the leaders of Quraysh in the area of the Sacred House. Banu `Abd Ad-Dar and Banu `Adi bin Ka`b bin Lu'ay, gave their mutual pledge to fight until death. However, five or four days later, Abu Umayyah bin Al-Mughirah bin `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Makhzum, the oldest man from Quraysh then intervened at the right moment. Abu Umayyah suggested that Quraysh should appoint the first man to enter the House from its entrance to be a mediator between them. They agreed.


The Messenger - Muhammad - was the first person to enter the House. When the various leaders of Quraysh realized who the first one was, they all proclaimed, `This is Al-Amin (the Honest one). We all accept him; This is Muhammad.' When the Prophet reached the area where the leaders were gathering and they informed him about their dispute, he asked them to bring a garment and place it on the ground. He placed the Black Stone on it. He then requested that each of the leaders of Quraysh hold the garment from one side and all participate in lifting the Black Stone, moving it to its designated area. Next, the Prophet carried the Black Stone by himself and placed it in its designated position and built around it. The Quraysh used to call the Messenger of Allah `Al-Amin' even before the revelation came to him."}}

Ibn Qutayba in Ta' wil Mukhtalif al-Hadith (1972 ed. p. 215=1995 ed. p. 198, 262) said that it was a saying of Ibn 'Abbas and relates a saying of 'A'isha that '''the Black Stone is the depository of the covenant of human souls with Allah on the Day of Promise''' (alastu bi rabbikum). He interprets the Black Stone as representing the place where one declares one's pledge of fidelity to the Sovereign. Ibn Hajar in Fath al-Bari (1959 ed. 3:463 #1520) cites al-Khattabi's and al-Muhibb al-Tabari's similar interpretations. Al-Qurtubi said in al-Asna fi Sharh Asma' Allah al-Husna (2:90-91): "It means that '''the Black Stone has the standing (manzila) of the Right Hand of Allah.''' metaphorically speaking."}}
