حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، وَمَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ خُثَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَمُعَاوِيَةُ لاَ يَمُرُّ بِرُكْنٍ إِلاَّ اسْتَلَمَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم

لَمْ يَكُنْ يَسْتَلِمُ إِلاَّ الْحَجَرَ الأَسْوَدَ وَالرُّكْنَ الْيَمَانِيَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ مَهْجُورًا

Abu Tufail narrated:

"I was with Ibn Abbas, and Mu'awiyah would not pass any corner without touching it. So Ibn Abbas said to him: 'the Prophet would not touch any besides the Black Stone and the Yemeni corner.' So Mu'awiyah said: 'There is no part of the House that is untouchable.'"

Al-Mubarakfuri — Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi

قَوْلُهُ : ( لَمْ يَكُنْ يَسْتَلِمْ إِلَّا الْحَجَرَ الْأَسْوَدَ وَالرُّكْنَ الْيَمَانِي ) بِتَخْفِيفِ الْيَاءِ عَلَى الْمَشْهُورِ ; لِأَنَّ الْأَلِفَ عِوَضٌ عَنْ يَاءِ النَّسَبِ فَلَوْ شُدِّدَتْ لَكَانَ جَمْعًا بَيْنَ الْعِوَضِ وَالْمُعَوَّضِ , وَجَوَّزَ سِيبَوَيْهِ التَّشْدِيدَ وَقَالَ إِنَّ الْأَلِفَ زَائِدَةٌ ( فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ الْبَيْتِ مَهْجُورًا ) زَادَ أَحْمَدُ مِنْ طَرِيقِ مُجَاهِدٍ : فَقَالَ اِبْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ( لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ ) فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ : صَدَقْت , قَالَ الْحَافِظُ فِي الْفَتْحِ : رَوَى اِبْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ وَغَيْرُهُ اِسْتِلَامَ جَمِيعِ الْأَرْكَانِ أَيْضًا عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَأَنَسٍ وَالْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ مِنْ…
