Sahih al-Bukhari 1602 (Book 25, Hadith 88) #1539
Pity and Compassion in Tawaf

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered his companions to do Ramal in the first three rounds of Tawaf of the Ka'ba and to walk between the two corners out of pity for them.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: When Allah's Messenger and his companions came to Mecca, the pagans circulated the news that a group of people were coming to them and they had been weakened by the Fever of Yathrib (Medina). So the Prophet ordered his companions to do Ramal in the first three rounds of Tawaf of the Ka'ba and to walk between the two corners (The Black Stone and Yemenite corner). The Prophet did not order them to do Ramal in all the rounds of Tawaf out of pity for them.
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ـ هُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ ـ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَصْحَابُهُ فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ إِنَّهُ يَقْدَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَقَدْ وَهَنَهُمْ حُمَّى يَثْرِبَ‏.‏ فَأَمَرَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ أَنْ يَرْمُلُوا الأَشْوَاطَ الثَّلاَثَةَ، وَأَنْ يَمْشُوا مَا بَيْنَ الرُّكْنَيْنِ، وَلَمْ يَمْنَعْهُ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُمْ أَنْ يَرْمُلُوا الأَشْوَاطَ كُلَّهَا إِلاَّ الإِبْقَاءُ عَلَيْهِمْ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a situation that occurred when Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his companions arrived at Mecca. The pagans had heard that they were weakened by a fever from Medina, so out of compassion, the Prophet ﷺ ordered his companions to do Ramal in only three rounds of Tawaf around the Ka’ba instead of all seven rounds. This shows us how important it is to be compassionate towards others, even if they are not Muslim or have different beliefs than us. We should always strive to be kind and understanding towards others, no matter what their background may be. Additionally, this hadith also teaches us about performing rituals such as tawaf with respect and reverence for Allah SWT.
