English translation

2942. It was narrated that Jâbir said: "When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ came to Makkah he entered the Masjid and touched the Stone, then he moved to his right and walked rapidly for three (rounds) and then walked (at a regular pace) for four. Then he came to the Maqâm and said: 'And take you (people) the Maqâm (place) of Ibrâhîm as a place of prayer[1] and prayed two Rak'ahs with the Maqâm between him and the House. Then he came to the House after praying those two Rak'ahs and touched the Stone, then he went out to Aş-Şafâ.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)

2939 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ وَاصِلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: " لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَكَّةَ، دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَاسْتَلَمَ الْحَجَرَ، ثُمَّ مَضَى عَلَى يَمِينِهِ، فَرَمَلَ ثَلَاثًا، وَمَشَى أَرْبَعًا، ثُمَّ أَتَى الْمَقَامَ فَقَالَ: {وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى} [البقرة: 125] فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَالْمَقَامُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْبَيْتِ ثُمَّ أَتَى الْبَيْتَ بَعْدَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ، فَاسْتَلَمَ الْحَجَرَ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّفَا "

Commentary

Upon arriving at the House of Allāh, the first thing one does is perform Tawāf. And the beginning of Tawāf is from the Black Stone. It is superior if one gets to kiss the Black Stone, otherwise one should start the Tawāf by merely pointing at it.
