Circumambulation of the Black Stone

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) performed circumambulation on a camel and touched the corner (black Stone) with a crooked stick in his hand during his rest at Mecca in the year of its Conquest.

Narrated Safiyyah, daughter of Shaybah: When the Messenger of Allah had some rest at Mecca in the year of its Conquest, he performed circumambulation on a camel and touched the corner (black Stone) with a crooked stick in his hand. She said: I was looking at him.
حَدَّثَنَا مُصَرِّفُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْيَامِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ بُكَيْرٍ - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَوْرٍ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ، قَالَتْ لَمَّا اطْمَأَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِمَكَّةَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ طَافَ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ يَسْتَلِمُ الرُّكْنَ بِمِحْجَنٍ فِي يَدِهِ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Safiyyah bint Shaybah tells us about an event that happened when Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was resting at Mecca during its conquest. He performed circumambulation on a camel and touched the corner or black stone with a crooked stick in his hand. Circumambulation is an Islamic ritual where Muslims walk around the Kaaba seven times counter-clockwise while reciting prayers and supplications. The Kaaba is located in Mecca and it is considered to be one of Islam's holiest sites as it was built by Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael for worshiping Allah Almighty. The black stone which is also known as Hajar Aswad is believed to have been sent down from heaven by Allah Almighty himself to be placed at one corner of Kaaba for Muslims to kiss or touch while performing circumambulations around it. This hadith teaches us that we should always remember Allah Almighty even during our rest times and perform rituals such as circumabmulations with utmost respect for Him. It also teaches us that we should always show respect towards holy places like Kaaba which are associated with our religion Islam.
