كُنْتُ أَطُوفُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ كَانَ إِذَا انْتَهَى إِلَى الْحَجَرِ مَسَحَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَ قَبَّلَهُ وَ إِذَا انْتَهَى إِلَى الرُّكْنِ الْيَمَانِيِّ الْتَزَمَهُ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ تَمْسَحُ الْحَجَرَ بِيَدِكَ وَ تَلْتَزِمُ الْيَمَانِيَّ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَا أَتَيْتُ الرُّكْنَ الْيَمَانِيَّ إِلَّا وَجَدْتُ جَبْرَئِيلَ قَدْ سَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ يَلْتَزِمُهُ .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Barqy, raising if from Zayd Al Shahaam Abu Asama, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said: ‘I was circumambulating along with Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, and it was so that whenever he<sup>asws</sup> ended up to the (Black) Stone, he<sup>asws</sup> wiped it with his<sup>asws</sup> hand, and kissed it; and whenever he<sup>asws</sup> ended up to the Yamani corner, embraced it’. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! You<sup>asws</sup> wipe the (black) Stone with your<sup>asws</sup> hand, and embrace the Yamani corner?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘I<sup>saww</sup> have not come to the Yamani corner except that I<sup>saww</sup> found Jibraeel<sup>as</sup> having had preceded me<sup>saww</sup> to it, embracing it’’.
