Overall meaning
ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿUmar—may Allah be pleased with them both—was renowned for his eagerness to trace, learn, and report every action of the Prophet ﷺ. In this report he describes the Prophet’s tawaf upon arrival: after touching the Black Stone—the starting point of every circumambulation—the Prophet ﷺ jogged (raml) through all three initial circuits, recalling the earlier occasion when they had done so to vex the idolaters.

Points derived from the hadith

1. Jogging (khabb), which is the same as raml, is recommended in each of the first three circuits of the arrival tawaf.
2. One walks the remaining four circuits; if some or all of the raml is missed in the first three, it is not made up later, for its appointed time has passed. There is therefore no raml in the last four.
3. The Prophet’s ﷺ jogging through all three initial circuits after the ʿUmrah of Restitution abrogates his earlier concession to walk between the two corners during that ʿumrah, because this later practice came after the weakness that had prevented raml on that occasion had disappeared.
4. The Prophet ﷺ continued to jog even after the original reason for it had vanished, so that the community would remember the situation they once faced; we jog today to keep that memory alive.
5. Touching the Black Stone at the start of every tawaf—and each time one passes it in every round—is prescribed for whoever can do so with ease; the permissibility of kissing it has already been noted.

Hadith 4
ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAbbās—may Allah be pleased with them both—said: “During the Farewell Pilgrimage the Messenger of Allah ﷺ circled the Kaʿbah on a camel, touching the Corner with a mihjan.”

The mihjan is a crook-headed staff.

Unfamiliar terms
mihjan (with a kasrah on the mīm, a sukūn on the ḥā, and a fatḥah on the jīm): a staff whose head is bent like a crook.

Overall meaning
During the Farewell Pilgrimage the Prophet ﷺ performed tawaf while the crowd around him had become exceedingly dense.
