Sayyidina Safwan ibn Assal al-Muradi reported that of two Jews one said to the other, “Come let us go to this Prophet that we may question him.” The other said, “Do not call him a Prophet, for, if he hears you say Prophet he will be overjoyed.’ So they came to him and asked him about the words of Allah the Exalted: “And certainly we gave Musa nine manifest signs.” (17/101 Shu’bah was unsure if this was included: And particularly for you, O Jews, that you do not contravene (the injunctions on) the Sabbath (Saturday). So, they kissed his hand and his feet, saying, “We bear testimony that you are a Prophet. He asked. ‘Then what prevents you from submitting (in Isaim)?” They said, ‘Dawood had prayed that Prophets should not cease to come in his offspring and we fear that if we submit the Jews will kill us.’

(trimdhi chapter 18, Hadith 3155, Book of Adab, Ibn Abi Shayba (Book of Adab), al-Nasa’i, Ibn Maja (Book of Adab), al-Hakim)

Burayda said: When we were with Allah’s Messenger ﷺ on an expedition, a Bedouin came and asked for a miracle. The Prophet pointed at a tree and said to the Bedouin: “Tell that tree: Allah’s Messenger summons you.” The Beduin did, whereupon the tree swayed and brought itself out, and came to the presence of the Prophet saying: “Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah!” The Bedouin said: “Now let it return to its place!” When Allah’s Messenger ordered it, the tree went back. The Bedouin said: “let me prostrate to you!” The Messenger answered: “If I commanded anyone to do that, I would command the wife to prostrate to her husband.” The Bedouin said: “Then give me permission to kiss your hands and feet.” The Prophet gave him permission.

(Qadi `Iyad narrated it in al-Shifa’ (1:299) and al-Bazzar in his Musnad (3:49))

A narration states that Ka`b ibn Malik al-Ansari kissed the hand and knees of the Prophet, after repenting from the charge of hypocrisy which followed his sitting out in Madina the Prophet’s expedition to Tabuk.(Bayhaqi in Dala’il al-nubuwwa, Ghazali in the Ihya’,Tabarani narrates it (cf. al-Kabir 19:42) Ibn Hajar cites it (Fath al-bari 1989 ed. 8:155 book of Maghazi ch. 80)

(Bukhari in al-Adab al-mufrad ) Suhayb the freedman of al-`Abbas saw Sayyidna`Ali kiss the hand and feet of the Prophet’s uncle al-`Abbas and said to him: “O Uncle! Be pleased with me.”  

Imam Muslim (d. 261) when he met Imam Bukhari (d. 256) said to him: Da`ni hatta uqabbila rijlayka ya ustadh al-ustadhayn, “Let me kiss your feet, O professor of the two professors.”(al-Khatib in his Tarikh (13:102), al-Hakim in al-Tarikh ,Bayhaqi in al-Madkhal, Ibn Hajar in Hadi al-Sari (p. 488) and his Nukat (2:717-719), al-Subki in the chapter of Bukhari in Tabaqat al-shafi`iyya)
