English translation

858. Abū Tufail narrated: "I was with Ibn 'Abbās, and Mu'āwiyah would not pass any corner without touching it. So Ibn 'Abbās said to him: 'The Prophet ﷺ would not touch any besides the Black Stone and the Yemeni corner.' So Mu'āwiyah said: 'There is no part of the House that is untouchable.'" (Hasan) (He said:) There is something about this from Ibn 'Umar. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Ibn 'Abbās is a Hasan Sahih Hadīth. This is acted upon by most of the people of knowledge; one does not touch (any corner) but the Black Stone and the Yemeni corner.

Arabic text

٨٥٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ ‌وَمَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ خُثَيْمٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ ‌ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَمُعَاوِيَةُ لَا يَمُرُّ بِرُكْنٍ إِلَّا اسْتَلَمَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: «إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَسْتَلِمُ» إِلَّا الْحَجَرَ الْأَسْوَدَ وَالرُّكْنَ الْيَمَانِيَ. فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ: لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ مَهْجُورًا. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عُمَرَ. حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ؛ أَنْ لَا يَسْتَلِمَ إِلَّا الْحَجَرَ الْأَسْوَدَ وَالرُّكْنَ الْيَمَانِيَ.

Commentary

"Istilām" means touching and kissing. Istilām of Black Stone should be started if possible by touching and kissing it and if even touching is not possible due to the rush and crowd of people, then by pointing towards it.
