حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ مِنْ لَفْظِهِ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَا أَرَاکَ تَسْتَلِمُ إِلَّا هَذَيْنِ الرُّکْنَيْنِ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ مَسْحَهُمَا يَحُطَّانِ الْخَطِيئَةَ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مَنْ طَافَ سَبْعًا فَهُوَ کَعِدْلِ رَقَبَةٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2926
It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Ubaid bin ‘Umair that a man said: “Abu ‘Abdur Rahman, why do I only see you touching these two corners?” He said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم say: ‘Touching them erases sins.’ And I heard him say: ‘Whoever circumambulates seven times, it is like freeing a slave.” (Hasan)
