Hadith record

10. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Barqiy in a marfu‘ manner from Zayd al-Shahham abu ‘Usamah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Once I was performing Tawaf with my father (a.s.), and when he reached the Black Stone he touched it with his hand and kissed. When he reached al-Yemaniy corner he held it (with his hands). I then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, how is it that you touch the Black Stone and hold al-Yemaniy corner? He replied, ‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “Whenever I would reach al-Yemaniy corner I would find Jibril arrive before me to hold al-Yemaniy corner.’””
