Qarmatians raid Mecca and carry off the Black Stone
During the Hajj season of 317 AH (930), forces of the Qarmatian leader Abu Tahir al-Jannabi attacked the pilgrims in Mecca on the day of Tarwiyah. The Black Stone was torn from its place and taken to Hajar in Bahrain; it was only restored to the Kaaba in 339 AH (950).
