Yahya related to me from Malik from Jafar ibn Muhammad from his father that Jabir ibn Abdullah said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, hastening from the Black Stone until he reached it again, three times". Malik said, "This is what is still done by the people of knowledge in our city".
The hadith teaches us about humility, obedience, submission, faithfulness, devotion and love towards Allah Almighty through performing acts of worship such as tawaf with sincerity and dedication even if we are not able to perform Hajj due to financial or physical constraints. It also reminds us that we should strive towards achieving unity among ourselves regardless of our differences so that we can be closer together spiritually with our Creator through acts such as tawaf which brings us closer together physically too when performed collectively during Hajj season each year in Mecca.
