2946. It was narrated from Sālim bin 'Abdullāh that his father said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not touch the corners of the Ka'bah apart from the Black Corner (i.e., the corner where the Black Stone is) and the one that is next to it facing the houses of Banu Jumah (i.e., the Yemenite Corner)." (Sahih)
2946 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ الْمِصْرِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: «لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَلِمُ مِنْ أَرْكَانِ الْبَيْتِ، إِلَّا الرُّكْنَ الْأَسْوَدَ، وَالَّذِي يَلِيهِ مِنْ نَحْوِ دُورِ الْجُمَحِيِّينَ» بَابُ مَنِ اسْتَلَمَ الرُّكْنَ، بِمِحْجَنِهِ

The Ka'bah has four corners; the corner of Black Stone, Yemenite Corner, Shāmi Corner and Iraqi Corner. The corner of the Black Stone and the Yemenite Corner in the era of the Prophet ﷺ, were at the same place where the Prophet Ibrahim ﷺ had founded them while constructing the Ka'bah. But the Shāmi Corner and Iraqi Corner were not where he had founded them. The people of Makkah had left some of Ka'bah's area when they rebuilt it. This area is called 'Hatim' or 'Hijr'. Hatim is still not included in the structure of Ka'bah. Touching the Black Stone, kissing it or indicating towards it, all these actions are allowed while the Yemenite Corner should be touched only.
