While the Prophet (ﷺ) was performing Tawaf of the Ka`ba, he passed by a person who had tied his hands
to another person with a rope or string or something like that. The Prophet (ﷺ) cut it with his own hands
and said, “Lead him by the hand.”

I gave Zamzam water to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and he drank it while standing. `Asim (a sub-narrator) said that
`Ikrima took the oath that on that day the Prophet (ﷺ) had not been standing but riding a camel.

The Prophet (ﷺ) saw a man performing Tawaf of the Ka`ba tied with a string or something else. So the
Prophet cut that string.

We set out with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) in the year of his Last Hajj and we mended (the Ihram) for `Umra.
Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever has a Hadi with him should assume Ihram for both Hajj and `Umra,
and should not finish it till he performs both of the them (Hajj and `Umra).” When we reached Mecca,
I had my menses. When we had performed our Hajj, the Prophet (ﷺ) sent me with `Abdur-Rahman to
Tan`im and I performed the `Umra. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “This is in lieu of your missed `Umra.” Those
who had assumed Ihram for `Umra performed Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa) and then finished
their Ihram. And then they performed another Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa) after returning from
Mina. And those who had assumed lhram for Hajj and `Umra to get her ( Hajj-Qiran ) performed only
one Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa).

In the year prior to the last Hajj of the Prophet (ﷺ) when Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) made Abu Bakr the leader of the
pilgrims, the latter (Abu Bakr) sent me in the company of a group of people to make a public
announcement: ‘No pagan is allowed to perform Hajj after this year, and no naked person is allowed to
perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba.’ (See Hadith No. 365 Vol. 1)

`Abdullah bin `Abdullah bin `Umar and his riding animal entered the house of Ibn `Umar. He (the son
of Ibn `Umar) said, “I fear that this year a battle might take place between the people and you might
be prevented from going to the Ka`ba. I suggest that you should stay here.” Ibn `Umar said, “Once
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) set out for the pilgrimage, and the pagans of Quraish intervened between him and the
Ka`ba. So, if the people intervened between me and the Ka`ba, I would do the same as Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
had done . . . “Verily, in Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) you have a good example.” Then he added, “I make you a
witness that I have intended to perform Hajj along with `Umra.” After arriving at Mecca, Ibn `Umar
performed one Tawaf only (between Safa and Marwa).

In his Last Hajj the Prophet (ﷺ) performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba riding a camel and pointed a bent-headed
stick towards the Corner (Black Stone).

Abu Ash-Sha’tha said, “Who keeps away from some portion of the Ka’bah?” Mu’awiya used to touch the four corners of the Ka’bah, Ibn ‘Abbas said to him, “These two corners (the one facing the Hijr) are not to be touched.” Mu’awiya said, “Nothing is untouchable in the Ka’bah.” And Ibn Az-Zubair used to touch all the corners of the Ka’bah.

“I have not seen the Prophet (ﷺ) touching except the two Yemenite Corners (i.e. the ones facing Yemen).”

“I saw `Umar bin Al-Khattab kissing the Black Stone and he then said, (to it) ‘Had I not seen Allah’s
Apostle kissing you, (stone) I would not have kissed you.’ ”
