Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When we finished the circumambulation of the Sacred House (Baytullah), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Abu Muhammad! What did you do regarding kissing the Rukn?" I replied: I kissed it and then left it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You did well."
