The Black Stone was sent down with him, and he was sent down with a handful of the leaves of Paradise, and he scattered them in India, so the fragrant trees grew. The origin of what is brought from India of fragrance is from that handful of leaves with which Adam descended. Adam had gripped them when he was brought out of Paradise out of grief for Paradise when he was brought out of it.
