The Sacred House was built with four corners. The first two are the Corner of the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner, which are called the Two Yemenis, thus attributing both to what is more dominant of them. As for the two other corners, they are called The Two Levantines. In this Hadīth, ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) informs that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would not touch any of the corners of the House except the two corners only. First: The Black Corner. He used to kiss or point to it with a stick or the like and then kiss it. This is because it comprises two merits, one of which is that it rests upon the foundations of Abraham (Ibrāhīm) (peace be upon him), and the other is that it contains the Black Stone. It is situated in the corner of the Ka‘bah that lies next to the gate from the eastern direction. The second Corner: "the one next to it". This is the Yemeni Corner, and the merit by which it is characterized is that it rests upon the foundations of Abraham also; this is why the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would touch, kiss, and wipe over it, apart from the other two corners. His words "from the direction of the houses of Al-Jumahiyyīn" refer to Banu Jumah, a subtribe of the Quraysh whose houses were opposite the Yemeni Corner at the time. As for the other two corners, they do not possess any of these two merits. So, they are not kissed or touched. The Hadīth defines what should be touched and kissed of the Ka‘bah, which is the Corner of the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner, apart from the others..
