Resolving tribal dispute honorably
Detailed Account
When the Ka'bah was damaged by floods, the Quraysh rebuilt it. A dispute arose over who should place the Black Stone. The 35-year-old Muhammad ﷺ proposed the solution: place the stone on a cloak held by all tribal leaders. This earned him universal respect as 'Al-Amin' (the trustworthy).
