حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَاهُ يَقُولُ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ مَا لِي لَا أَرَاكَ تَسْتَلِمُ إِلَّا هَذَيْنِ الرُّكْنَيْنِ الْحَجَرَ الْأَسْوَدَ وَالرُّكْنَ الْيَمَانِيَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِنْ أَفْعَلْ فَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اسْتِلَامَهُمَا يَحُطُّ الْخَطَايَا قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مَنْ طَافَ أُسْبُوعًا يُحْصِيهِ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَانَ لَهُ كَعِدْلِ رَقَبَةٍ قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مَا رَفَعَ رَجُلٌ قَدَمًا وَلَا وَضَعَهَا إِلَّا كُتِبَتْ لَهُ عَشْرُ حَسَنَاتٍ وَحُطَّ عَنْهُ عَشْرُ سَيِّئَاتٍ وَرُفِعَ لَهُ عَشْرُ دَرَجَاتٍ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4462
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Ubayd ibn 'Umayr that he heard his father say to Ibn 'Umar: Why do I not see you touching any corners (of the Ka'bah] except these two: the Black Stone and the Yemeni corner?" Ibn 'Umar said: If I do that, it is because i heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "Touching them erases sins." He said: And I heard him say: "Whoever circumambulates (the Ka'bah) seven times and prays two rak'ahs, he will have (a reward) like that of manumitting a slave. He said: And I heard him say: "A man does not lift his foot (in tawaaf) and place it on the ground but ten hasanaat will be recorded for him and ten sayi'aat will be erased for him, and he will be raised ten degrees in status."
