It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “During his ‘Umrah after
Hudaibiyah – when they wanted to enter Makkah – the Prophet (ﷺ)
said
to his Companions: ‘Your people will see you tomorrow, so let
them see
you looking strong.’ When they entered the mosque, they
touched the
corner and started to walk briskly, and the Prophet (ﷺ)
was with
them. When they reached the Yemenite Corner, they walked
normally to
the Black Corner (the corner where the Black Stone is),
then they
walked briskly until they reached the Yemenite Corner, then
they
walked normally to the Black Corner. They did that three times,
then
they walked normally for four circuits.”

It was
narrated from Ibn Ya’la bin Umayyah that his father Ya’la
said: “The Prophet (ﷺ) performed Tawaf while doing Idtiba’.”* (In
his narration, one of the narrators) Qabisah said: “While wearing a
Yemenite cloth.”

It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said: “I asked the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
about the Hijr, and he said: ‘It is part of the House.’ I said:
‘What kept them from incorporating it into it?’ He said: ‘They
ran out
of funds.’ I said: ‘Why is its door so high up that it
can only be
reached with a ladder?’* He said: ‘That is what your
people did so
that they could let in whoever they wanted and keep out
whoever they
wanted. Were it not that your people have so recently
left disbelief
behind, and I am afraid that it would bother them, I
would have
changed it, incorporating what they left out and I would
put its door
at ground level.”

It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said: “I heard the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘Whoever performs Tawaf around the House and
prays
two Rak’ah, it is as if he freed a slave.’”

Humaid
bin Abu Sawiyyah said: I heard Ibn Hisham asking ‘Ata’ bin Abu
Rabah about the Yemenite Corner, when he was performing Tawaf around
the House. ‘Ata’ said: Abu Hurairah told me that the Prophet
(ﷺ) said: “Seventy angels have been appointed over it. Whoever
says: Allahumma inni as’alukal-‘afwa wal-‘afiyah fid-dunya
wal-akhirah; Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanah, wa fil-akhirati
hasanah, wa qina ‘adhaban-Nar (O Allah, I ask You for pardon and
well-being in this world and in the Hereafter. Our Lord, give us good
in this world and good in the Hereafter and protect us from the
torment of the Fire), they say: Amin.” When he reached the Black
Corner (where the Black Stone is), he said: O Abu Muhammad! What have
you heard about this Black Corner? ‘Ata’ said: Abu Hurairah told
me that he heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “Whoever faces
it is facing the Hand of the Most Merciful.’”
Ibn Hisham said to him: O Abu Muhammad, what about Tawaf? ‘Ata’ said: Abu Hurairah told me that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: “Whoever performs Tawaf around the House seven times and does not say anything except: Subhan Allah wal-hamdu lillah, wa la ilaha illallah wa Allahu Akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (Glory is to Allah, praise is to Allah, none has the right to be worshipping but Allah, and there is no power nor strength except with Allah), ten bad deeds will be erased from him, ten merits will be recorded for him, and he will be raised ten degrees in status. Whoever performs Tawaf and talks when he is in that situation, is wading in mercy like one who wades in water.”

It was
narrated that Muttalib said: “When he finished seven (circuits
of
Tawaf), I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) come until he was
parallel
with the Corner, then he prayed two Rak’ah at the edge of the
Mataf
(area for Tawaf), and there was nothing between him and the
people
who were performing Tawaf.”

It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came
and
performed Tawaf around the House seven times, then he prayed two
Rak’ahs. Waki’ said: “Meaning, at the Maqam,* then he went out
to
Safa.”

It was
narrated that Jabir said: “When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
finished
circumambulating the House, he came to Maqam Ibrahim. ‘Umar
said:
‘O Messenger of Allah, this is the Maqam of our father Ibrahim,
about which Allah says, “And take you (people) the Maqam (place) of
Ibrahim as a place of prayer.’” [2:125]

It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
turned to face the Stone, then he put his lips on it and wept for a
long time. Then he turned and saw ‘Umar bin Khattab weeping. He
said:
‘O ‘Umar, this is the place where tears should be shed.’”

It was
narrated from Umm Salamah that she fell sick, so the Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ) told her to perform Tawaf from behind the people,
riding.
She said: “I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) praying facing
the
House, and reciting: “By the Tur (Mount), And by the Book
Inscribed.’” [52:1-2]
