337. Takbeer When Passing the Black Stone

Narrated Ibn `Abbas (RA): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) performed Tawaf (of the Ka`ba) ending a camel (at that time the Prophet [ﷺ] had foot injury). Whenever he came to the Corner (having the Black Stone) he would point out towards it with a thing in his hand and say, "Allahu-Akbar."

ReferenceBukhari: 1632
