Fortress of the Muslim

Hisn al-Muslim 234

Arabic hadith text

طَافَ النَّبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالْبَيْتِ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ كُلَّمَا أَتَى الرُّكْنَ أَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ عِنْدَهُ وَكَبَّرَ

Translation

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, performed circumambulation of the House while riding a camel. Whenever he came to the Corner, he pointed toward it with something he had and said, “Allah is the Greatest.”

Translation notes
  • أَتَى الرُّكْنَ

    The Arabic says “the Corner”; the English witness identifies it specifically as the corner containing the Black Stone and mentions a cane in an explanatory note.

    Should those identifications remain separate contextual notes rather than be inserted into the translation?
