Hadith 2210

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، عنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَأَنَا أَتْلُوهُمَا فِي ظُهُورِهِمَا ، أَسْمَعُ كَلَامَهُمَا ، فَطَفِقَ مُعَاوِيَةُ يَسْتَلِمُ رُكْنَ الْحَجَرَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عبد الله ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : " إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَسْتَلِمْ هَذَيْنِ الرُّكْنَيْنِ " , فَيَقُولُ مُعَاوِيَةُ دَعْنِي مِنْكَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ مَهْجُورٌ , فَطَفِقَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لَا يَزِيدُهُ ، كُلَّمَا وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنَ الرُّكْنَيْنِ ، قَالَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ .
Abu al-Tufail says that I saw Sayyiduna Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) performing Tawaf of the Ka'bah. On his left side was Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), and I was behind both of them, listening to their conversation. When Sayyiduna Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to touch the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad), Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not touch these two corners (which are about to come). Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "Ibn Abbas! Leave me, for no part of the House of Allah is to be neglected or abandoned." However, whenever Sayyiduna Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) touched any corner, Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) kept saying the same thing to him.
