Ritual of Circumambulation at Kaaba

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) performed the ritual of circumambulating the Kaaba during his Farewell Pilgrimage, and touched the Black Stone with a stick.

Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Messenger 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.
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، وَحَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ طَافَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ يَسْتَلِمُ الرُّكْنَ بِمِحْجَنٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
During his final pilgrimage to Mecca in 632 CE, Prophet Muhammad performed a ritual known as Tawaf or circumambulation around the Kaaba seven times. He also touched the corner of the Black Stone with a stick. This ritual is still practiced today by Muslims who visit Mecca for Hajj or Umrah. It is an act of worship that symbolizes unity and submission to Allah's will. The touching of the stone is symbolic of seeking Allah's blessings and protection from all harm. It also serves as a reminder that we should strive to be humble before God and seek His guidance in all our endeavors.
