Sunan an-Nasa'i, 2938

It was narrated that Hanzalah said:"I saw tawus pass by the Corner. If he saw it crowded, he would pass by and he would not push his way in. And if he way it was free, he would kiss it three times, then he said: 'I saw Ibn Abbas doing that. Ibn Abbas said: 'I saw Umar bin Al-Khattab doing that, then he said: You are just a stone that can neither cause harm or bring benefit; were it not that I saw the Messenger ofAllah kissing you I would not have kissed you.' Then Umar said:b 'I saw the Messenger of Allah doing that

Rapporté par Hanzalah : J’ai vu Tawus passer devant l’angle (de la Kaaba). S’il voyait qu’il y avait du monde, il passait sans forcer. Et si c’était libre, il l’embrassait trois fois, puis il disait : « J’ai vu Ibn Abbas faire cela. Ibn Abbas disait : ‘J’ai vu Umar ibn Al-Khattab faire cela, puis il disait : Tu n’es qu’une pierre qui ne peut ni nuire ni profiter ; si je n’avais pas vu le Messager d’Allah t’embrasser, je ne t’aurais pas embrassée.’ » Puis Umar disait : « J’ai vu le Messager d’Allah faire cela. »
