The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) demonstrated the rituals and activities of Hajj and ‘Umrah through words and deeds and pointed out what is permissible from among them and what is not. In this Hadīth, Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) informs that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed Tawāf around the House during the Farewell Hajj, and that was the Hajj performed by the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in 10 A.H. It was called as such because the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) seemed to have been bidding farewell to them, and he passed away shortly after that. "while riding his mount"; mount refers to every animal prepared for riding. During that Hajj, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was riding his she-camel, he was touching the Black Stone with his curved-end stick, Mihjan in Arabic. In a Hadīth in the Sahīh Muslim Collection, Abu At-Tufayl (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: "and he kissed the curved-end stick." This is because one of the Sunnahs of Tawāf is to kiss the Black Stone, and since he was unable to touch the Stone with his hand, he touched it with a stick and kissed what touched the Stone. Then, Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) pointed out that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) rode his she-camel to make it easier for people to see him and for him to be at a high place so that the people could recognize him and ask him about anything they would find confusing regarding the rituals of Hajj. He did so because the people "crowded around him"; so, he feared for them due to this crowdedness and did not want to be obliged to turn them away from himself. Therefore, his riding was easier for him and them and more beneficial in terms of following his example, and so that they could see him and ask him about whatever they wished. The Hadīth denotes the permissibility to perform Tawāf while riding a mount, and this also applies to similar things like wheelchairs, particularly if riding serves a certain benefit, such as giving Fatwas to people and teaching them. It also mentions touching the Black Stone and indicates that if a person is unable to touch it with his hand - because he is riding something or there is crowdedness - he may touch it with a stick or the like..
