Did the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) touch the Black Stone in every circuit?

It is Sunnah for
the one who is doing tawaf to kiss the Black Stone in every circuit of his
tawaf if he is able to do so without disturbing anyone. If it is too
difficult for him to do that, then he may touch it with his hand and kiss
his hand. If that is not possible, then he should point to it.

It is sunnah for
him to do that in each circuit of his tawaf because of the report narrated
by Abu Dawood in his Sunan (1878):

The Messenger of
Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) did not omit to touch the
Yemeni Corner (ar-rukn al-yamani) and the Black Stone in every
circuit.

Classed as
saheeh by al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy on him).

Muslim (1268)
narrated that Naafi‘ said: I saw Ibn ‘Umar touching the Stone with his hand,
then he kissed his hand and said: I did not stop doing this since I saw the
Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) doing it.

An-Nawawi said:

This indicates
that it is recommended to kiss the hand after touching the Black Stone, if
one is unable to kiss the Black Stone.

This hadith may
be understood as referring to one who is unable to kiss the Black Stone.
Otherwise, the one who is able to do so should kiss the Stone and not limit
himself to touching it with his hand. End quote from Sharh Muslim
(9/15).

Something
similar was said by Shaykh al-Mulla Qaari concerning the phrase “touching
the Stone with his hand, then he kissed his hand.” He said: Perhaps this was
at a time when it was very crowded. End quote from Mirqaat al-Mafaateeh
(5/1795).

Shaykh Muhammad
ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: You said that it is
prescribed for the one who is doing tawaf to kiss the Black Stone if
possible, otherwise he should touch it or say takbeer. This is in the first
circuit; but what is the ruling on the other circuits? What is the ruling if
he does not do that?

He replied:

The same ruling
applies to all the circuits, but if he does not do that, it does not matter,
because saying takbeer, kissing the Black Stone and touching it are all
Sunnah; what really matters is tawaf (circumambulating the Ka‘bah). End
quote from Majmoo‘ Fataawa ash-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (22/331).

And he (may
Allah have mercy on him) said:

All of these
actions were narrated from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him).

The best of them
are touching the Stone with one’s hand and kissing the Stone; then touching
the Stone and kissing one’s hand; then touching it with a stick and the like
and kissing it, if doing so will not cause annoyance to anyone – but this
Sunnah only applies to one who is riding, as far as we know; then pointing
to it. So there are four possible actions, in order of preference, to be
done without causing annoyance to others or putting oneself through
hardship. End quote from ash-Sharh al-Mumti‘ (7/238).

Conclusion:

If the one who
is doing tawaf is able to kiss the Black Stone, or to touch it, without
causing annoyance to anyone, then he should do that in every circuit, but it
is not obligatory.

And Allah knows
best.
