Sahih Muslim 1270c (Book 15, Hadith 275) #10210
Kissing the Stone with Faith in Allah

SUMMARY: This hadith is about 'Umar b. Khattab (Allah be pleased with him) kissing the Stone and expressing his faith in Allah, even though he knows that the stone cannot do any harm or good.

Abdullah b. Sarjis reported: I saw the bald one, i. e. 'Umar b. Khattib (Allah be pleased with him). kissing the Stone and saying: By Allah. I am kissing with full consciousness of the fact that you are a stone and that you can neither do any harm nor good; and if I had not seen Allah's Messenger kissing you. I would not have kissed you. The rest of the hadith is the same.
حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، وَالْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، - قَالَ خَلَفٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، - عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ الأَصْلَعَ - يَعْنِي عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ - يُقَبِّلُ الْحَجَرَ وَيَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأُقَبِّلُكَ وَإِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ وَأَنَّكَ لاَ تَضُرُّ وَلاَ تَنْفَعُ وَلَوْلاَ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَبَّلَكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ ‏.‏ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الْمُقَدَّمِيِّ وَأَبِي كَامِلٍ رَأَيْتُ الأُصَيْلِعَ

Have faith in Allah no matter what you are faced with

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about 'Umar b. Khattab's demonstration of faith in Allah, even when faced with something seemingly insignificant like a stone. He kissed it and expressed his belief that only Allah can bring harm or good to people, not a mere stone. This teaches us to have faith in Allah no matter what we are faced with and to remember that only He has control over our lives and destinies. We should also remember that no matter how small something may seem, it can still be an opportunity for us to express our faith in God if we use it correctly.
