Those who, on coming level with the Black Stone, looked at it and said takbir

Abu Ya'fur said: A man from Khuza'ah, who was the governor over the pilgrims, addressed us in Makkah and said: O people, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was a strong man of powerful build. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Umar, you are a strong man and you harm the weak. When you perform tawaf of the House and find the Black Stone clear, go close to it; (and if it is crowded,) say takbir and tahlil and move on."
