Hadith 253

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَتِيقٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَابَيْهِ ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ ، قَالَ : طُفْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ، " فَلَمَّا كُنْتُ عِنْدَ الرُّكْنِ الَّذِي يَلِي الْبَابَ مِمَّا يَلِي الْحَجَرَ ، أَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ لِيَسْتَلِمَ ، فَقَالَ : أَمَا طُفْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قُلْتُ : بَلَى ، قَالَ : فَهَلْ رَأَيْتَهُ يَسْتَلِمُهُ ؟ قُلْتُ : لَا ، قَالَ : فَانْفُذْ عَنْكَ ، فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةً حَسَنَةً " .
Sayyiduna Ya'la bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that once I performed Tawaf with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). When I reached the Yemeni Corner, I took the hand of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) so that he could perform Istilam. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Have you never performed Tawaf with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)? I said: Why not! He said: Then did you see the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performing Istilam of it? I said: No! He said: Then leave it, for indeed in the person of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) there is a beautiful example for you.
