Sahih Muslim 1267a (Book 15, Hadith 267) #10202
The Prophet's Respect for the House of Allah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did not touch anything in the House of Allah except for two Yamani corners.

Ahdullah b. Umar (reported) that he had not seen Allah's Messenger (way peace he upon him) touching anything in the House, except the two Yamani corners.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمْ أَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَمْسَحُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ إِلاَّ الرُّكْنَيْنِ الْيَمَانِيَيْنِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Showing proper respect towards places like Kaaba by following the example set by The Prophet Muhammed .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the respect that the Prophet Muhammad showed to the House of Allah, also known as Masjid al-Haram or Kaaba. He only touched two Yamani corners, which are located at either side of the entrance to Kaaba, and nothing else inside it. This shows us how much respect he had for this sacred place and how we should follow his example in showing reverence towards it. We should remember that this is a place where we can come closer to God and ask Him for forgiveness and guidance, so we must treat it with utmost respect when visiting it.

The Prophet's example teaches us that even though we may be able to do something, if it does not show proper respect then we should refrain from doing so out of reverence towards God's house. We must remember that our actions reflect our faith and beliefs, so by following his example in showing respect towards places like Kaaba, we can demonstrate our love for God and His house too!
