Sahih al-Bukhari 1609 (Book 25, Hadith 95) #1546
Touching the Two Yemenite Corners of Ka'bah

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) only touched the two Yemenite Corners when entering the Ka'bah.

Narrated Salim bin 'Abdullah that his father said: "I have not seen the Prophet touching except the two Yemenite Corners (ie the ones facing Yemen)".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ لَمْ أَرَ النَّبِيَّ يَسْتَلِمُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ إِلاَّ الرُّكْنَيْنِ الْيَمَانِيَيْنِ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect places of worship and show reverence and humility when entering a place of worship.

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Salim bin 'Abdullah states that his father saw the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), peace be upon him, touching only two corners of the Ka’bah when he entered it. These two corners are known as Zawiyatay Yaman, which translates to “the two Yemenite corners” in English. This hadith teaches us that we should respect and honor places of worship and not take them for granted. We should also remember to show reverence and humility when entering a place of worship, such as bowing our heads or lowering our gaze out of respect for God's house.
