Suwaid bin Ghafala reported: I saw Umar (RA) kissing the Stone and clinging to it and saying: I saw Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) having great love for you.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Sufyan with the same chain of transmitters (and the words are): "That he ('Umar) said: But I saw Abu'l-Qasim ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) having great love for you." And he did not mention about clinging to it.

Ibn 'Abbas (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) circumambulated the House on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage on the back of his camel and touched the Corner (of Black Stone) with a stick.

Jabir (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) circumambulated the House on the back of his riding camel on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage and touched the Stone with his stick so that the people should see him, and he should be conspicuous, and they should be able to ask him (questions pertaining to religion) as the people had crowded round him.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA) reported that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) circumambulated the House (and ran) between al-Safa and al-Marwah on the back of his she-camel, at the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage so that the people should see him and he should be conspicuous, and they should be able to ask him (questions pertaining to religion), and the people had crowded round him. In the hadith transmitted on the authority of Ibn Khashram no mention is made of: "So that they should ask him."

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) circumambulated the Ka’bah on the back of his camel on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage and touched the corner and he did not like that the people should be pushed away from him.

Abu Tufail reported: I saw Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) circumambulating the House and touching the corner with a stick that he had with him, and then kissing the stick.

Umm Salamah reported: I made a complaint to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) of my ailment, whereupon be said: Circumambulate behind the people while riding. She said: So I circumambulated and Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was at that time praying towards the side of the House and he was reciting al-Tur and a Book Inscribed (i. e. Sura Iii. of the Qur'an).

Hisham bin 'Urwa reported on the authority of his father who narrated from 'A'isha. He said to 'A'isha: I think if a person does not run between al- Safa' and al-Marwah, It does not do any harm to him (so far as Hajj is concerned). She said: Why (do you think so)? I said: For Allah says: "Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwahh are among the Signs of Allah" (ii. 158) (to the end of the verse), whereupon she said: Allah does not complete the Hajj of a person or his 'Umrah if he does not observe Sa'i between al-Safa' and al-Marwahh; and if it were so as you state, then (the wording would have been (fala janah an la yatufu biha) [" There is no harm for him if he does not circumambulate between them'] . Do you know in what context (this verse was revealed)? (It was revealed in this context) that the Ansar in the Days of Ignorance pronounced the Talbiya for two idols. (fixed on the bank of the river which were called Isaf and Na'ila. The people went there, and then circumambulated between al-Safa' and al-Marwahh and then got their heads shaved. With the advent of Islam they (the Muslims) did not like to circumambulate between them as they used to do during the Days of Ignorance. It was on account of this that Allah the Exalted and Majestic, revealed: "Verily al-Safe and al-Marwahh are among the Signs of Allah" to the end of the verse. She said: Then people began to observe Sa'i.

Hisham bin 'Urwa narrated on the authority of his father who reported: I said to 'A'isha: I do not see any harm to me if I do not circumambulate between al-Safa' and al-Marwah. She said: On what ground do you say so? (I said:) Since Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, says: "Verily al-Safa' and al-Marwah are among the Signs of Allah." If (your assertion) were (correct), it would have been said like this: "There is no harm for him, that he should not circumambulate between them." It (this verse) has been revealed about the people of Ansar. Whenever they pronounced the Talbiya, they pronounced it in the name of al-Manat during the Days of Ignorance; so they (thought) that it was not permissible for them (for the Muslims) to circumambulate between and al-Marwah. When they (the Muslims) came with Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (may peace he upon him) for Hajj, they mentioned it to him. So Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed this verse. By my life, Allah will not complete the Hajj of one who has not circumambulated between al-Safa and al-Marwah.
