حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ الْعَبْدِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ شَيْخًا بِمَكَّةَ فِي إِمَارَةِ الْحَجَّاجِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ يَا عُمَرُ إِنَّكَ رَجُلٌ قَوِيٌّ لَا تُزَاحِمْ عَلَى الْحَجَرِ فَتُؤْذِيَ الضَّعِيفَ إِنْ وَجَدْتَ خَلْوَةً فَاسْتَلِمْهُ وَإِلَّا فَاسْتَقْبِلْهُ فَهَلِّلْ وَكَبِّرْ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 190
It was narrated from 'Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) that the Prophet said: "O 'Umar, you are a strong man. Do not crowd others to touch the Black Stone, lest you harm the weak. If you find a gap, then touch it, otherwise turn to face it and say La ilaha illallah, and Allahu attar."
