Musnad Ahmad 99 (Book 2, Hadith 18) #33793
Following in the Footsteps of the Prophet

SUMMARY: Umar saw the Prophet Muhammad kissing the Black Stone and followed suit.

It was narrated that 'Abis bin Rabee'ah said: I saw 'Umar look at the Black Stone and say: By Allah, were it not that I saw the Messenger of Allah kiss you, I would not have kissed you. Then he kissed it.
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَعْمَشِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، عَنْ عَابِسِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عُمَرَ نَظَرَ إِلَى الْحَجَرِ فَقَالَ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ ثُمَّ قَبَّلَهُ‏.‏
