حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ :" مَا تَرَكْتُ اسْتِلَامَ هَذَيْنِ الرُّكْنَيْنِ فِي شِدَّةٍ وَلَا رَخَاءٍ مُنْذُ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَلِمُهُمَا ".
قُلْتُ لِنَافِعٍ : أَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَمْشِي بَيْنَ الرُّكْنَيْنِ ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَمْشِي لِيَكُونَ أَيْسَرَ لِاسْتِلَامِهِ

Musaddad narrated to us, Yahya narrated to us, on the authority of Ubayd Allah, on the authority of Nafi’, on the authority of Ibn Umar, he said: “I never neglected to hold these two pillars in distress. There has been no prosperity since I saw the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, receiving them.”
I said to Nafi’: Did Ibn Umar walk between the two corners? He said: He was walking so that it would be easier to reach him.
