Trustworthiness The Kaba was rebuilt before the revelation descended on the Prophet (SAWS); he was thirty years of age then. Quraysh was responsible for rebuilding the Kaba, but when it was time to put the Stone back in its place, all the other tribes sought that privilege. At first, there was a great dispute, but it was eventually resolved that the first person to enter the sanctum would be their arbitrator. Allah (SWT) preordained that the first to enter was none other than the Prophet (SAWS). This was before the revelation. All the tribes said in one voice, The trustworthy (Al-Amīn), we do want him to be our arbitrator. It was also preordained by Allah (SWT) that on this very occasion, the Prophet (SAWS) was the one to lay the Stone in place. Each tribe was asked to grasp one side of the cloak on which the Stone was placed so that they would share in this great honor, but it was the Prophet who, with his noble hands, put it back in its place. #WhoIsMuhammad
