Placing the Stone and the Arbitration Accepted by All

The clans of Quraysh were on the verge of shedding blood over who would place the Black Stone. At that critical moment, Muhammad the Trustworthy proposed a solution that allowed every clan to share in the honor by carrying the stone together on a cloth. What remained now was the placing of the stone itself, and the deep impression this act of arbitration would leave in their hearts. Imagine watching this scene in the shade of the Kaaba, as silence settles over the courtyard.
