Narrated Isma’li bin Abu Khalid:
‘Abdullah bin Abu Aufa said, “Allah’s Apostle performed the ‘Umra. He performed Tawaf of the
Ka’ba and offered two Rakat behind the Maqam (Abraham’s place) and was accompanied by those
who were screening him from the people.” Somebody asked ‘Abdullah, “Did Allah’s Apostle enter the
Ka’ba?” ‘Abdullah replied in the negative.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 671:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
When Allah’s Apostle came to Mecca, he refused to enter the Ka’ba with idols in it. He ordered
(idols to be taken out). So they were taken out. The people took out the pictures of Abraham and Ish –
mael holding Azlams in their hands. Allah’s Apostle said, “May Allah curse these people. By Allah,
both Abraham and Ishmael never did the game of chance with Azlams.” Then he entered the Ka’ba
and said Takbir at its corners but did not offer the prayer in it.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 672:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
When Allah’s Apostle and his companions came to Mecca, the pagans circulated the news that a
group of people were coming to them and they had been weakened by the Fever of Yathrib
(Medina). So the Prophet ordered his companions to do Ramal in the first three rounds of Tawaf of
the Ka’ba and to walk between the two corners (The Black Stone and Yemenite corner). The Prophet
did not order them to do Ramal in all the rounds of Tawaf out of pity for them.
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 673:
Narrated Salim that his father said:
I saw Allah’s Apostle arriving at Mecca; he kissed the Black Stone Corner first while doing Tawaf
and did ramal in the first three rounds of the seven rounds (of Tawaf).

“Umar bin Al-Khattab addressed the Corner (Black Stone) saying, ‘By Allah! I know that you are a
stone and can neither benefit nor harm. Had I not seen the Prophet touching (and kissing) you, I
would never have touched (and kissed) you.’ Then he kissed it and said, ‘There is no reason for us to
do Ramal (in Tawaf) except that we wanted to show off before the pagans, and now Allah has des –
troyed them.’ ‘Umar added, ‘(Nevertheless), the Prophet did that and we do not want to leave it (i.e.
Ramal).’

and the Yemenite Corner) both in the presence and the absence of crowds, since I saw the Prophet

“He used to walk in order that it might be easy for him to touch it (the Corner Stone).”
