EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abdullah bin Abbas tells us that Prophet Muhammad used to circumambulate the House of Allah, which is known as the Kaaba. This is a ritual known as Tawaf and it is done by Muslims during their pilgrimage to Mecca. When he reached one of its corners, he would point towards it with his hand. This shows us how important this place was for him and how much respect he had for it. It also teaches us that we should take our adornment with us whenever we go to a masjid or any other place of worship so that we can show our respect for Allah's house in a dignified manner.
