8ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) لا يَسْتَلِمُ إِلاَّ الرُّكْنَ الأَسْوَدَ وَالْيَمَانِيَّ ثُمَّ يُقَبِّلُهُمَا وَيَضَعُ خَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِمَا وَرَأَيْتُ أَبِي يَفْعَلُهُ.
8. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause,’ would not touch anything except the corner of the Black Stone and al-Yemaniy corner. He (the Messenger of Allah) kissed them and placed his cheek against them and I saw my father also did so.’”
