Wrong or fabricated references. Recommend to remove sentence

Section 'History and Tradition'

"However, the silver frame was placed on the Black Stone to secure the fragments, after the original stone was broken.[31][32]"

I have checked both references 31 and 32

31 Burke, John G. (1991). Cosmic Debris: Meteorites in History. University of California Press. p. 222. ISBN 978-0-520-07396-8.
32 Hassan, Ashraf (1991). Cenap Çakmak (ed.). Islam: A Worldwide Encyclopedia [4 volumes]. ABC-CLIO. p. 262. ISBN 978-1-61-069217-5.

the statement made is firstly not discussed in the 2 books referenced (Hassan Ashraf's book is available on google books check page 262). Furthermore such a statement does not represent a majority view of scholars even if it was mentioned in some source (wrong representation).

In the interest of an honest representation of the matter at hand I recommend deletion of this unfounded/unreferenced statement. Alernatively a new section should be written to discuss the scholarly views on the framing of the black stone plus maybe architectural aspects of the Kaaba and its embedded artefacts.

PORT HOLE not portal

"The Black Stone is seen through a portal in the Kaaba" should be: "The Black Stone is seen through a port hole in the Kaaba" A 'portal' is: "a doorway, gate, or other entrance, especially a large and imposing one." 2600:1700:4CA1:3C80:19F6:8AD7:8076:2F0E (talk) 21:52, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A portal is just an opening. A "port hole" is a circular opening on the side of a ship, which would be incorrect. I don't see the problem. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:13, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
