So do not bother about what the Messenger of Allah did not do.’” Jamil has said, ‘I saw abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), touch all the corners.’

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.’””

12. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from al-‘ Ala’ ibn al-Muq‘ad who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘There is an angel assigned on al-Yemaniy corner from the time Allah created the heavens and the earth. This angel has no Hijjir except saying, ‘Amen’ for your prayers, so a servant of Allah should consider what to appeal for in his prayer.’ I (the narrator) then asked, ‘What is al-Hijjir?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘It is the expression of Arabs, meaning he has nothing to do but to do so and so. In another Hadith it says, ‘He (the angel) has no other task but that (saying Amen)”’
