The Takbîr passing the black stone
طَافَ النَّبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالْبَيْتِ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ كُلَّمَا أَتَى الرُّكْنَ أَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ عِنْدَهُ وَكَبَّرَ
The Prophet (ﷺ) performed Tawaf riding a camel. Every time he passed the corner (containing the Black Stone), he would point to it with something that he was holding and say: Allāhu Akbar (Allah is the Most Great)!
Al-Bukhari, cf. Al-Asqalani, Fathul-Bari 3/476. See also 472. The
'something' that was referred to in this Hadith was a cane.
