حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَتِيقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَابَيْهِ عَنْ بَعْضِ بَنِي يَعْلَى عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ طُفْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَاسْتَلَمَ الرُّكْنَ قَالَ يَعْلَى فَكُنْتُ مِمَّا يَلِي الْبَيْتَ فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُ الرُّكْنَ الْغَرْبِيَّ الَّذِي يَلِي الْأَسْوَدَ جَرَرْتُ بِيَدِهِ لِيَسْتَلِمَ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُكَ فَقُلْتُ أَلَا تَسْتَلِمُ قَالَ أَلَمْ تَطُفْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ بَلَى فَقَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتَهُ يَسْتَلِمُ هَذَيْنِ الرُّكْنَيْنِ الْغَرْبِيَّيْنِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَا قَالَ أَفَلَيْسَ لَكَ فِيهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ فَانْفُذْ عَنْكَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 313
It was narrated that Ya'la bin Umayyah said: i circumam-bulated [the Ka'bah] with 'Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) and he touched the comer. Ya'la said: I was next to the House and when I reached the western corner which is next to the Black Stone, I took his hand to touch it and he said: What is the matter with you? I said: Aren't you going to touch it? He said: Did you not do tawaf with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)? I said: Yes indeed. He said: Did you see him touch these two western comers? I said: No. He said: Don't you have a good example in him? I said: Yes indeed. He said: Then stop bothering about that.
