Ibn Abbas reported: He was circling the House with Mu’awiya and Mu’awiya would touch all of its corners. Ibn Abbas said, “Why did you touch these two corners? The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, did not touch these two.” Mu’awiya said, “Nothing from the House should be abandoned.” Ibn Abbas said, “Certainly you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent example.” (33:21) Mu’awiya said, “You are right.”

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ طَافَ مَعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ بِالْبَيْتِ فَجَعَلَ مُعَاوِيَةُ يَسْتَلِمُ الْأَرْكَانَ كُلَّهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لِمَ تَسْتَلِمُ هَذَيْنِ الرُّكْنَيْنِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَلِمُهُمَا فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ الْبَيْتِ مَهْجُورًا فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ صَدَقْتَ
