It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he performed Tawaf of the Ka'bah with Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). It happened that Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) touched all the corners of the Ka'bah. Seeing this, Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said to him: Why do you touch all the corners of the Ka'bah, when the Messenger of Allah did not touch all of them? Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: No part of the Ka'bah can be left out. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: {لَقَدْ کَانَ لَکُمْ فِی رَسُوْلِ اللّٰہِ أُسْوَۃٌ حَسَنَۃٌ} (Indeed, there is for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent example). Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You have spoken the truth.

Abu Tufail says: Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) both came to Makkah Mukarramah. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) performed Tawaf and touched all the corners of the House of Allah. Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) only touched the Yemeni corners. But Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: No part of the House of Allah should be left out. Imam Shu’bah says: The narrators have reported this hadith in different ways. They say that Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that no part of the House of Allah can be left out, but he narrated this hadith from Qatadah in this very manner.
