"When the Prophet and his Companions came to Makkah, the idolaters said: 'The fever of Yathrib has weakened them, and they have suffered a great deal because of it.' Allah informed His Prophet about that, so he told his Companions to walk rapidly, and to walk (at a normal pace) between the two corners, and the idolaters were on the side of the Stone. They said: 'They are stronger than such and such.'"  

لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ مَكَّةَ قَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ وَهَنَتْهُمْ حُمَّى يَثْرِبَ وَلَقَوْا مِنْهَا شَرًّا فَأَطْلَعَ اللَّهُ نَبِيَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلاَةُ وَالسَّلاَمُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ يَرْمُلُوا وَأَنْ يَمْشُوا مَا بَيْنَ الرُّكْنَيْنِ وَكَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ مِنَ نَاحِيَةِ الْحِجْرِ فَقَالُوا لَهَؤُلاَءِ أَجْلَدُ مِنْ كَذَا  

"A man asked Ibn Umar about touching the Black Stone and he said: 'I saw the Messenger of Allah touching it and kissing it.' The man said: 'What if it is too crowded and I am overwhelmed?' Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: 'Leave your "what if" in Yemen! I saw the Messenger of Allah touching it and kissing it.'"  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَسْتَلِمُهُ وَيُقَبِّلُهُ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ زُحِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ غُلِبْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ اجْعَلْ أَرَأَيْتَ بِالْيَمَنِ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَسْتَلِمُهُ وَيُقَبِّلُهُ
