To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Prophet used to weep when he touched the Black Stone, and said that it was the place for the pouring forth of tears. According to most authors, the second Caliph also used to kiss it. For this reason most Moslems, except the Shafa'i school, must touch the stone with both hands and apply their lips to it, or touch it with the fingers, which should be kissed, or rub the palms upon it, and afterwards draw them down the face. Under circumstances of difficulty, it is sufficient to stand before t...he stone, but the Prophet's Sunnat, or practice, was to touch it. Lucian mentions adora- tions of the sun by kissing the hand. " Then commenced the ceremony of Tawaf, or circumam- bulation, our route being the Mataf — the low oval of polished granite immediately surrounding the Ka'abah. I repeated, after my Mutawwif, or cicerone, ' In the Name of Allah, and Allah is omnipotent ! I purpose to circuit seven circuits unto Almighty AUah, glorified and exalted ! ' This is technically called the Myat (intention) of Tawaf.
