Kissing Hajar-e-Aswad removes sins. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had not even proclaimed his Prophethood, but even then, this stone would say Salaam to the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. This sacred Stone will once again be put into its original shape and on the Day of Judgement, its length and width will be equivalent to the mountain of Abi Qubays.             (Balad-ul-Ameen, pp. 62 – Al jami’-ul-Lateef, pp. 37-38)

7. Safa and Marwah are also in the city of Makkah. Both of these mountains are signs from Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ). Therefore, Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) mentions in part 2, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 158:

اِنَّ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَآىٕرِ اللّٰهِۚ-فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَیْتَ اَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْهِ اَنْ یَّطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَاؕ-وَ مَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَیْرًاۙ-فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِیْمٌ(۱۵۸)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Undoubtedly Safa and Marwah (two hills near the Holy Ka’bah) are amongst the signs of Allah ; so whosoever performs Hajj or ‘Umrah of this Sacred House, there is no sin upon him (for) walking between both of them, and whosoever does some good (i.e. optional worship) on his own accord, then indeed Allah  is Most Appreciative, All-Knowing.

Meeqat

8. Those coming from outside the Meeqat cannot enter Makkah without an Ihram.

Definition of Meeqat

Meeqat is that place where Afaqi (the person who lives outside the limits of Meeqat) is unable to enter Haram unless he is in Ihram, even if he comes for the purpose of business or anything else. Even the residents of Makkah, going out of Meeqat (e.g. Madinah or Taif), are not permitted to re-enter Makkah without Ihram (Rafeeq-ul-Haramayn, pp. 63)
