Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that we entered Makkah Mukarramah at the time of Duha, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the door of Masjid al-Haram and made his she-camel sit down, then entered Masjid al-Haram. He started from the Black Stone, touched it, and tears flowed from his eyes, then the rest of the hadith was narrated. And he said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) walked briskly in three circuits of the Tawaf and walked at a normal pace in four circuits. When he finished the Tawaf, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kissed the Black Stone, placed both his hands on it, and then wiped them over his blessed face.

Janaab Ja'far bin Abdullah narrates that I saw Muhammad bin 'Abbad bin Ja'far kiss the Black Stone and prostrate on it. Then he said, "I saw your uncle Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) kiss the Black Stone and prostrate on it." Sayyiduna Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) says, "I saw Sayyiduna 'Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) kiss the Black Stone and prostrate on it. Then he said, 'I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) do this, so I have done the same.'"

Imam Nafi’ (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I saw Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) touch the Black Stone with his hand and then kiss his hand. And he said: Since I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) doing this, I have never abandoned it.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that when the she-camel of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) would stand straight with him near the mosque of Dhul-Hulaifah during Hajj or Umrah, he would recite the Talbiyah in these words «‏‏‏‏لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ، إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ والنِّعْمَة لَكَ والمُلْكُ، لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ» ‏‏‏‏: "O Allah, I am present, I am devoted to Your worship, I am present in Your court, You have no partner, I am present. Surely, all praise is due to You alone, and every blessing is from You, and sovereignty is also Yours. You have no partner." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) would continue to recite the Talbiyah in this manner until he reached the Sacred House (Baytullah), and when he came in front of the Black Stone, he would «‏‏‏‏اللهُ أَكْـبَر» ‏‏‏‏ and face the Black Stone (kiss it or touch it), then perform three circuits (of Tawaf) with a brisk walk and four circuits at a normal pace, then offer two rak‘ahs (of prayer).

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ramal (brisk walking) in the first three circuits of tawaf and walked at a normal pace in the remaining four circuits.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ramal (brisk walking) from the Black Stone to the Black Stone. In the narration of Janab Ali bin Khushram, there is this addition: "He performed ramal in three circuits and walked normally in four circuits."

Hazrat Abu Tufail narrates that I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that your people believe that performing raml (brisk walking) in three circuits of the Tawaf of the Ka'bah and walking at a normal pace in four circuits is Sunnah. He replied that they have spoken the truth, but part of what they say is incorrect. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Makkah Mukarramah, and when the people of Makkah heard of his arrival, they said, "Look, Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions will not even be able to perform Tawaf of the Ka'bah due to weakness." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Show them the strength and power that they dislike."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the people of Quraysh said that Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions have been completely weakened by the fever of Yathrib. So when the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) came to Makkah Mukarramah in the year of the treaty, he said to his companions: "While performing Tawaf of the Sacred House, walk briskly in the first three circuits so that the polytheists may see your strength and power." Therefore, when the companions performed raml, the Quraysh said that the fever has not weakened them at all.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Sa’ib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reciting this supplication between the Rukn Bani Jumah (Rukn Yamani) and the Black Stone: «‏‏‏‏رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وّفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً، وّقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ» ‏‏‏‏“O our Lord, grant us goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of the Fire.”In the narration of Janab Duraqi, it is mentioned that he used to recite this supplication between the Rukn Yamani and the Black Stone.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Tawaf of the Ka'bah while riding a camel. When he reached the Black Stone, he would point towards it with something (a stick) in his hand and say «‏‏‏‏اللهُ أَكْبَرُ» ‏‏‏‏.
