It was narrated that Abdullah bin Umar said: “I did not see the Messenger of Allah (SAW) touch any part of the House, apart from the two Yemeni Corners.”

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمْ أَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَمْسَحُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ إِلاَّ الرُّكْنَيْنِ الْيَمَانِيَيْنِ.

It was narrated from Salim that his father said: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) did not touch any of the corners of the House except the Black Corner and that which is next to it, in the direction of the houses of the Jumahis.”

وَحَدَّثَنِى أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ وَحَرْمَلَةُ قَالَ أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِى يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَسْتَلِمُ مِنْ أَرْكَانِ الْبَيْتِ إِلاَّ الرُّكْنَ الأَسْوَدَ وَالَّذِى يَلِيهِ مِنْ نَحْوِ دُورِ الْجُمَحِيِّينَ.

It was narrated that Ibn Umar said: “I did not stop touching these two Corners, the Yemeni and the Stone, since I saw the Messenger of Allah (SAW) touching them, in hardship and in ease.”

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ يَحْيَى الْقَطَّانِ - قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى - عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِى نَافِعٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ مَا تَرَكْتُ اسْتِلاَمَ هَذَيْنِ الرُّكْنَيْنِ - الْيَمَانِىَ وَالْحَجَرَ مُذْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَسْتَلِمُهُمَا فِى شِدَّةٍ وَلاَ رَخَاءٍ.

It was narrated from Salim that his father told him: “Umar bin Al-Khattab kissed the (Black) Stone, then he said: ‘By Allah, I know that you are just a stone, and were it not that I saw the Messenger of Allah (SAW) kissing you I would not have kissed you.’”Harun added in his report: “Amr said: ‘And Zaid bin Aslam narrated a similar report to me from his father.’”

وَحَدَّثَنِى حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِى يُونُسُ وَعَمْرٌو ح وَحَدَّثَنِى هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَيْلِىُّ حَدَّثَنِى ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِى عَمْرٌو عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ قَبَّلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ الْحَجَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ وَلَوْلاَ أَنِّى رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ. زَادَ هَارُونُ فِى رِوَايَتِهِ قَالَ عَمْرٌو وَحَدَّثَنِى بِمِثْلِهَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَسْلَمَ.

It was narrated that Abdullah bin Sarjis said: “I saw the bald one” – meaning Umar bin Al-Khattab- “kissing the Stone and saying: ‘By Allah, I am kissing you, although I know that you are just a stone, and you can neither cause harm nor bring benefit. Were it not that I saw the Messenger of Allah (SAW) kiss you, I would not have kissed you.’”

حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ وَالْمُقَدَّمِىُّ وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ - قَالَ خَلَفٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ - عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ الأَصْلَعَ - يَعْنِى عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ - يُقَبِّلُ الْحَجَرَ وَيَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّى لأُقَبِّلُكَ وَإِنِّى أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ وَأَنَّكَ لاَ تَضُرُّ وَلاَ تَنْفَعُ وَلَوْلاَ أَنِّى رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَبَّلَكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ. وَفِى رِوَايَةِ الْمُقَدَّمِىِّ وَأَبِى كَامِلٍ رَأَيْتُ الأُصَيْلِعَ.

It was narrated that Jabir said: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) circumambulated the House during the Farewell Pilgrimage , on his mount, touching the (Black) Stone with his crooked staff, so that the people could see him and so that he could see them, and so that they could ask him questions, for the people had crowded around him.”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِىُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ أَبِى الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ طَافَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بِالْبَيْتِ فِى حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ يَسْتَلِمُ الْحَجَرَ بِمِحْجَنِهِ لأَنْ يَرَاهُ النَّاسُ وَلِيُشْرِفَ وَلِيَسْأَلُوهُ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ غَشُوهُ.

Maruf bin Kharrabudh said: “I heard Abu At-Tufail say: ‘I saw the Messenger of Allah (SAW) circumambulating the House and touching the Corner with a crooked staff that he had with him, and kissing the crooked staff.’”

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْرُوفُ بْنُ خَرَّبُوذَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الطُّفَيْلِ يَقُولُ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ وَيَسْتَلِمُ الرُّكْنَ بِمِحْجَنٍ مَعَهُ وَيُقَبِّلُ الْمِحْجَنَ.

It was narrated that Umm Salamah said: “I complained to the Messenger of Allah (SAW) that I was sick and he said: ‘Circumambulate behind the people riding.’ She said: ‘So I circumambulated (the Kabah), and at that time the Messenger of Allah (SAW) was praying beside the House, and reciting: By the Tur (Mount). And by the Book inscribed. ’”

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ شَكَوْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَنِّى أَشْتَكِى فَقَالَ « طُوفِى مِنْ وَرَاءِ النَّاسِ وَأَنْتِ رَاكِبَةٌ ». قَالَتْ فَطُفْتُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- حِينَئِذٍ يُصَلِّى إِلَى جَنْبِ الْبَيْتِ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ بِ (الطُّورِ وَكِتَابٍ مَسْطُورٍ ).

It was narrated from Hisham bin Urwah that his father said: “I said to Aishah: ‘I think that if a man does not go between As-Safa and Al-Marwah, it does not matter.’ She said: ‘Why?’ I said: ‘Because Allah, the Most High, says: “Verily, As-Safa and Al-Marwah are of the Symbols of Allah. So it is not a sin on him who performs Hajj or Umrah of the House to perform the going (Tawaf) between them (As-Safa and Al-Marwah). And whoever does good voluntarily, then verily, Allah is All-Recogniser, All-Knower.” She said: ‘A person’s Hajj or Umrah is not complete if he does not go between As-Safa and Al-Marwah. If it was as you say, then it would be: “It is not sin on him if he does not go between them.” Do you know what that was revealed about? That was revealed about the Ansar (the people of Yathrib) who during the Jahiliyyah used to enter Ihram for two idols by the sea shore, which were called Isaf and Nailah. Then they would come and run between As-Safa and Al-Marwah, then they would shave their heads. When Islam came, they did not like to go between them, because of what they used to do during the Jahiliyyah.’ She said: “Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: “Verily, As-Safa and Al-Marwah are of the symbols of Allah …’ then they went between them.”’”

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهَا إِنِّى لأَظُنُّ رَجُلاً لَوْ لَمْ يَطُفْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ مَا ضَرَّهُ. قَالَتْ لِمَ قُلْتُ لأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ (إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ) إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ. فَقَالَتْ مَا أَتَمَّ اللَّهُ حَجَّ امْرِئٍ وَلاَ عُمْرَتَهُ لَمْ يَطُفْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَلَوْ كَانَ كَمَا تَقُولُ لَكَانَ فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لاَ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا. وَهَلْ تَدْرِى فِيمَا كَانَ ذَاكَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ ذَاكَ أَنَّ الأَنْصَارَ كَانُوا يُهِلُّونَ فِى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ لِصَنَمَيْنِ عَلَى شَطِّ الْبَحْرِ يُقَالُ لَهُمَا إِسَافٌ وَنَائِلَةٌ. ثُمَّ يَجِيئُونَ فَيَطُوفُونَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ يَحْلِقُونَ. فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الإِسْلاَمُ كَرِهُوا أَنْ يَطُوفُوا بَيْنَهُمَا لِلَّذِى كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَ فِى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ قَالَتْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ (إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ) إِلَى آخِرِهَا - قَالَتْ - فَطَافُوا.

Hisham bin Urwah said: My father told me: I said to Aishah: “I do not think there is any sin on me if I do not go between As-Safa and Al-Marwah.” She said: “Why?” I said: “Because Allah, the Mighty and Sublime says: ‘Verily, As-Safa and Al-Marwah are of the Symbols of Allah …’ –mentioning the verse. She said: “if it was as u say, then it would be: ‘It is not a sin on him if he does not go between them.’ This was revealed concerning some of the Ansar who, when they entered Ihram during the Jahiliyyah, they entered Ihram for Manat, and they thought that it was not permissible for them to go between As-Safa and Al-Marwah. When they came with the Messenger of Allah (SAW) for Hajj, they mentioned that to him, and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed this verse. By Allah, a person’s Hajj is not complete if he does not go between As-Safa and Al-Marwah.””

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ أَخْبَرَنِى أَبِى قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ مَا أَرَى عَلَىَّ جُنَاحًا أَنْ لاَ أَتَطَوَّفَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ. قَالَتْ لِمَ قُلْتُ لأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ (إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ) الآيَةَ. فَقَالَتْ لَوْ كَانَ كَمَا تَقُولُ لَكَانَ فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لاَ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا.إِنَّمَا أُنْزِلَ هَذَا فِى أُنَاسٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ كَانُوا إِذَا أَهَلُّوا أَهَلُّوا لِمَنَاةَ فِى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَلاَ يَحِلُّ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفُوا بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا مَعَ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لِلْحَجِّ ذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى هَذِهِ الآيَةَ فَلَعَمْرِى مَا أَتَمَّ اللَّهُ حَجَّ مَنْ لَمْ يَطُفْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ.
