Imaan is founded upon complete submission to Allah and His Messenger ﷺin all the commands and prohibitions, irrespective of whether the rationality behind these orders and prohibitions are known or not. In this hadeeth, Naafi’, the freed slave of Ibn ‘Umar (ra), reports that ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (ra) informed about himself that he never always touched the Black Stone and al-Rukn al-Yamaanee, which are to the direction of Yemen – neither in hardship nor in prosperity, neither in distress nor in opulence, nor in other circumstances since he has seen the Prophet ﷺdoing it. The touching here is referred to as Istilaam, which means to pass the hand over them, and to additionally kiss the Black Stone. ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (ras) used to walk with a normal pace between them so that it becomes more comfortable and easier for him to touch them and to harbour strength on doing it during crowding. This hadeeth indicates that he used to walk with a high pace in the rest of the three rounds of Tawaaf round the Ka’bah. The Prophet ﷺcommanded his Companions during ‘Umrah al-Qadaa’ to walk and not to walk with a high pace between the two Rukns, so they do not get tired, thereafter, they walk a with high pace in the rest of the rounds of Tawaaf round the Ka’bah, of course, in the first three circuits. Thereafter, the Prophet ﷺwalked with a high pace in his circumambulation on his first arrival in the Farewell Hajj entirely from the Black Stone to the Black Stone three times, and he walked casually in the rest of the four rounds. Since then, the Sunnah of walking with a high pace, starting from the Black Stone and ending at the Black Stone, in the first three rounds of Tawaaf have become the practised Sunnah because this was the last practice of the Prophet ﷺ. This hadeeth highlights the virtue of Ibn ‘Umar (ra) due to his profound eagerness to follow the example of the Prophet ﷺin all his affairs and to act upon it..
