Crowding at the Black Stone

It is narrated from Urwah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him): "What did you do in the tawaf?" He said: I touched the Black Stone and I left it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You did right."

Al-Qasim said: I saw Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) pushing through the crowd at the Black Stone until his nose bled.

Al-Shaybani said: I performed tawaf with Sa'id bin Jubayr, and he would not push through the crowd at the Black Stone.

Ata said: When you see a crowd at the Black Stone, neither cause harm to anyone nor suffer harm yourself, and keep away from it.

Jabir bin Zayd would not crowd at the Black Stone (he would not push anyone).

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) disliked people being pushed at the Black Stone, so that Muslims are harmed and you yourself are harmed.

Ata, Mujahid, Muhammad bin Ali, Salim and al-Qasim did not push through the crowd at the Black Stone; they would stand facing it for a while.

Sa'id bin Ubayd al-Ta'i said: Al-Hasan saw a crowd at the Black Stone, so he did not touch it; he supplicated, then came to the Station of Ibrahim and offered two rak'ahs.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) would touch the Black Stone, but would not push through the crowd.

And Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to do so.
