Sunan Ibn Majah 2946 (Book 25, Hadith 65) #32300
The Two Corners of the Ka'bah Touched by Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) did not touch the corners of the Ka’bah apart from two specific ones.

It was narrated from Salim bin 'Abdullah that his father said: "The Messenger of Allah did not touch the corners of the Ka’bah apart from the Black Corner (ie, the corner where the Black Stone is) and the one that is next to it facing the houses of Banu Jumah (ie, the Yemenite Corner)".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ الْمِصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَسْتَلِمُ مِنْ أَرْكَانِ الْبَيْتِ إِلاَّ الرُّكْنَ الأَسْوَدَ وَالَّذِي يَلِيهِ مِنْ نَحْوِ دُورِ الْجُمَحِيِّينَ
