Ibn `Umar. said, "I have never missed the touching of these two stones of Ka`ba (the Black Stone and
the Yemenite Corner) both in the presence and the absence of crowds, since I saw the Prophet (ﷺ)
touching them." I asked Nafi`: "Did Ibn `Umar use to walk between the two Corners?" Nafi` replied,
"He used to walk in order that it might be easy for him to touch it (the Corner Stone)."
