Tawaf on a mount: those who permitted it

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed tawaf riding his mount during the Farewell Hajj, and touched the Black Stone with a crooked staff.

It is narrated from Ikrimah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed tawaf of the House riding a camel, and whenever he came to the Black Stone he pointed to it.

Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I have not performed the farewell tawaf. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the prayer is started, perform tawaf on your camel behind the people."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was suffering from an ailment, so he performed tawaf riding a camel. He (peace and blessings be upon him) had a crooked staff with him, and whenever he passed by the Black Stone he touched it. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) finished his tawaf, he made the camel kneel and dismounted, then offered two rak'ahs.

Ma'ruf al-Makki said: When I was a boy, I heard Sayyiduna Abu al-Tufayl (may Allah be pleased with him) say: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed tawaf of the House riding his mount.

It is narrated from Ata that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed tawaf of the House riding, touched the Black Stone with a crooked staff, and performed sa'i between Safa and Marwah. Hajjaj said: I asked Ata: What did he (peace and blessings be upon him) intend by doing so? He said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) did it to make things easy for his Ummah.

Hisham said: Whenever my respected father saw anyone performing tawaf riding, he would forbid it.
