959. Ibn ‘Ubaid bin ‘Umar narrated from his father: “Ibn ‘Umar was clinging on the two corners (in a manner that I had not seen any of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ doing) so I said: ‘O Abū ‘Abdur-Rahmān! You are clinging on the two corners in a manner that I have not seen any of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ clinging.’ So he said: ‘I do it because I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: “Touching them atones for sins.” And I heard him saying: “Whoever performs Tawāf around this House seven times and he keeps track of it, then it is as if he freed a slave.” And I heard him saying: “One foot is not put down, nor another raised except that Allāh removes a sin from him and records a good merit for him.” (Hasan)
Abū 'Eisā said: Hammād bin Zaid reported similar from 'Aṭā' bin As-Sā'ib, from Ibn 'Ubaid bin 'Umar, from Ibn 'Umar. But he did not mention "from his father" in it.
(Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan).

Commentary
While touching the Black Stone, it is not proper to make it difficult for others to reach it, or pushing others, to make room for one self. In this narration Ibn 'Umar's answer means that he is not harming or hitting anybody, nor he is not creating trouble for others.
