Jami at-Tirmidhi 865 — Tawaf on a Mount

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 865

This Tawaf on a mount hadith describes a specific action of the Prophet. Ibn Abbas narrated that the Prophet performed Tawaf while riding his mount. When he reached the corner of the Black Stone, he pointed to it. The report is short, but it gives an important detail about Tawaf and the Black Stone. It shows that the Prophet did not only touch the Stone in every narration. In this case, while mounted, he pointed toward the corner when he reached it. The explanation should stay close to the text: the Hadith is about Tawaf, being on a mount, and pointing to the Black Stone corner. It is also connected to the wider topic of Hajj and Umrah rites.
