Sahih Muslim 1270a (Book 15, Hadith 273) #10208
Following in the Footsteps of the Prophet

SUMMARY: Umar al-Khattib kissed the Black Stone, but only because he saw the Prophet Muhammad do it first.

Salim narrated on the authority of his father (Allah be pleased with him) that 'Umar b. al-Khattib (Allah be pleased with him) kissed (the Black Stone) and then said: By Allah, I know that you are a stone and if I were not to see Allah's Messenger kissing you, I would not have kissed you. Harun said in his narration: A hadith like this has been transmitted to me by Zaid b. Aslam on the authority of his father Aslam.
وَحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، وَعَمْرٌو، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، أَنَّحَدَّثَهُ قَالَ قَبَّلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ الْحَجَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ وَلَوْلاَ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ ‏.‏ زَادَ هَارُونُ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ قَالَ عَمْرٌو وَحَدَّثَنِي بِمِثْلِهَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَسْلَمَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Follow examples set by others, learn from those with more knowledge than you, take guidance from prophets teachings .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us about how Umar ibn Al Khattab, one of Prophet Muhammad's companions, acted when he visited Kaaba. He kissed the Black Stone even though he knew it was just a stone. He did this because he saw that Prophet Muhammad had done it before him and wanted to follow in his footsteps. This teaches us that we should always try to follow what our beloved prophet did and take him as an example for our lives. We should also be willing to learn from those around us who have more knowledge than us so we can grow spiritually and become better people.
