When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered Mecca, I said (to myself): I shall put on my clothes, and my house lay on the way, I shall watch how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ behaves. So I went out. I saw that the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions had come out from the Ka'bah and embraced the House (the Ka'bah) from its entrance (al-Bab) to al-Hatim. They placed their cheek on the House (the Ka'bah) while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was amongst them.
لَمَّا فَتَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَكَّةَ قُلْتُ لأَلْبَسَنَّ ثِيَابِي وَكَانَتْ دَارِي عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ فَلأَنْظُرَنَّ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْكَعْبَةِ هُوَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ وَقَدِ اسْتَلَمُوا الْبَيْتَ مِنَ الْبَابِ إِلَى الْحَطِيمِ وَقَدْ وَضَعُوا خُدُودَهُمْ عَلَى الْبَيْتِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَسْطَهُمْ
