It is narrated from Hazrat Urwah that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Awf: What did you do during the Tawaf? He replied, I touched the Black Stone and left it. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You did right.

Hazrat Qasim narrates that I saw Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) pushing himself against the Black Stone to the extent that his nose became bloodied.

Al-Shaibani says that I performed Tawaf with Saeed bin Jubair; he would not push at the Black Stone (Hajar Aswad), but would perform Istilam and move on.

Hazrat Ata says that when you see a crowd at the Black Stone, neither cause harm to anyone nor endure harm yourself, and move away from it.

Hazrat Jabir bin Zaid did not crowd at the Black Stone (did not push anyone).

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with both of them) disliked that people should be pushed at the Black Stone, that Muslims should be caused hardship, and that you yourself should be put to hardship.

Hazrat Ata, Hazrat Mujahid, Hazrat Muhammad bin Ali, Hazrat Sallam, and Hazrat Qasim disliked pushing at the Black Stone; they would stand in front of the Black Stone for a while and then move on.

Hazrat Saeed bin Ubaid Al-Tai narrates that Hasan saw a crowd at the Black Stone, so he did not perform Istilam. He prayed and came to Maqam Ibrahim and performed two rak'ahs.

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with both of them) used to touch the Black Stone but would not push or shove, whereas Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with both of them) used to do so.

13641 - And Ibn Umar used to do it (1).
