856. Jābir narrated: "When the Prophet ﷺ arrived in Makkah, he entered the Masjid and touched the (Black) Stone, then went to his right and performed Raml (walking quickly) for three (circuits) and walking for four. Then he came to the Maqām[1] and said: 'And take you (people) the Maqām (place) of Ibrāhīm as a place of prayer.'[2] Then he performed two Rak'ah while the Maqām was between him and the House. Then he came to the (Black) Stone after the two Rak'ah to touch it, then he left to Aṣ-Ṣafā – I think – he said: Indeed Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwah are among the Symbols of Allāh."[3] (Sahīh)
(He said:) There is something on this topic from Ibn 'Umar.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Jābir is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge.'

Commentary
It is unanimously agreed upon that the circumambulation of Ka'bah should be started at the Black Stone, and while performing circumambulation the Ka'bah should be on the left side. The first three circles of Ka'bah should be with short and nimble steps (Raml) and rest of the four circles should be completed by normal walking. This (Raml) is only in the first Tawāf after arriving in Makkah.
