861. Az-Zubair bin 'Arabī narrated that a man asked Ibn 'Umar about touching the (Black) Stone, so he said: "I saw the Prophet ﷺ touching it and kissing it." So the man said: "What is your view if there is a throng (around the Ka'bah) and what is your view if the people overpowered me?" Ibn 'Umar said: "Leave 'What is your view' in Yemen. I saw the Prophet ﷺ touching it and kissing it." (Ṣaḥīḥ) He said: This is the Az-Zubair bin 'Arabī that Ḥammād bin Zaid reports from. And the Az-Zubair bin 'Arabī from Al-Kūfah – whose Kunyah is Abū Salamah – he heard from Anas bin Mālik and others among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ. Sufyān Ath-Thawrī and others among the A'immah reported from him. Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of Ibn 'Umar is a Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth, and it has been reported from him through more than one route.

٨٦١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنِ ‌الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ «أَنَّ رَجُلًا» سَأَلَ ‌ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَنِ اسْتِلَامِ الْحَجَرِ فَقَالَ: رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَلِمُهُ وَيُقَبِّلُهُ، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ غُلِبْتُ عَلَيْهِ؟ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ زُوحِمْتُ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: اجْعَلْ أَرَأَيْتَ بِالْيَمَنِ، رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَلِمُهُ وَيُقَبِّلُهُ. وَهَذَا هُوَ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ عَرَبِيٍّ رَوَى عَنْهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، وَالزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ كُوفِيٌّ، سَمِعَ مِنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَغَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، رَوَى عَنْهُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ. حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ؛ يَسْتَحِبُّونَ تَقْبِيلَ الْحَجَرِ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يُمْكِنْهُ وَلَمْ يَصِلْ إِلَيْهِ اسْتَلَمَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَقَبَّلَ يَدَهُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَصِلْ إِلَيْهِ اسْتَقْبَلَهُ إِذَا حَاذَى بِهِ وَكَبَّرَ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ.

Commentary

Ibn 'Umar's answer emphasizes that our utmost effort should be to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, and that we should not make lame excuses.
