Sahih al-Bukhari 1608 (Book 25, Hadith 94) #1545
Etiquette of Touching the Ka'bah

SUMMARY: This hadith discusses the etiquette of touching the Ka'bah and how Mu'awiya and Ibn Az-Zubair differed in their approach.

Abu Ash-Sha'tha said, "Who keeps away from some portion of the Ka'bah?" Mu'awiya used to touch the four corners of the Ka'bah, Ibn 'Abbas said to him, "These two corners (the one facing the Hijr) are not to be touched". Mu'awiya said, "Nothing is untouchable in the Ka'bah". And Ibn Az-Zubair used to touch all the corners of the Ka'bah.
وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَمَنْ يَتَّقِي شَيْئًا مِنَ الْبَيْتِ، وَكَانَ مُعَاوِيَةُ يَسْتَلِمُ الأَرْكَانَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ إِنَّهُ لاَ يُسْتَلَمُ هَذَانِ الرُّكْنَانِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ شَىْءٌ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ مَهْجُورًا، وَكَانَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ يَسْتَلِمُهُنَّ كُلَّهُنَّ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the etiquette of touching the Ka’bah. Abu Ash-Sha'tha asked who keeps away from some portion of the Ka’bah. Mu’awiya used to touch all four corners while Ibn ‘Abbas told him that two corners should not be touched. Mu’awiya disagreed with this opinion and said nothing is untouchable in the Ka’bah. On the other hand, Ibn Az-Zubair used to touch all four corners of it. This hadith teaches us that we should respect sacred places like mosques and holy sites by following proper etiquette when visiting them. We should also be mindful when interacting with such places as they are considered sacred by many people around us and we must show respect for their beliefs even if we do not share them ourselves.
