ahmad:3093ʿAbd al-Ṣamad from my father > Ayyūb > ʿIkrimah > Ibn ʿAbbās

‘Abbas said “When the Prophet ﷺ came to Makkah he refused to enter the House (the Ka’bah) for there were idols in it. He ordered to take them out and they were taken out. The statues of Abraham and Isma’il were taken out and they had arrows in their hands. Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “May Allaah destroy them! By Allaah, they knew that they never cast lots by arrow. He then entered the House(the Ka’bah) and uttered the takbir (Allaah is most great) in all its sides and corners. He then came out and did not pray. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2027)   

أحمد:٣٠٩٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ أَبَى أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْبَيْتَ وَفِيهِ الْآلِهَةُ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَأُخْرِجَتْ فَأَخْرَجَ صُورَةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلامُ فِي أَيْدِيهِمَا الْأَزْلامُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَاتَلَهُمِ اللهُ أَمَا وَاللهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمُوا مَا اقْتَسَمَا بِهَا قَطُّ قَالَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ فَكَبَّرَ فِي نَوَاحِي الْبَيْتِ وَخَرَجَ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ فِي الْبَيْتِ

When Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Mecca, he refused to enter the Kaʿba with idols in it. He ordered (idols to be taken out). So they were taken out. The people took out the pictures of Abraham and Ishmael holding Azlams in their hands. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "May Allah curse these people. By Allah, both Abraham and Ishmael never did the game of chance with Azlams." Then he entered the Kaʿba and said Takbir at its corners but did not offer the prayer in it.

When Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Mecca, he refused to enter the Kaʿba while there were idols in it. So he ordered that they be taken out. The pictures of the (Prophets) Abraham and Ishmael, holding arrows of divination in their hands, were carried out. The Prophet ﷺ said, "May Allah ruin them (i.e. the infidels) for they knew very well that they (i.e. Abraham and Ishmael) never drew lots by these (divination arrows). Then the Prophet ﷺ entered the Kaʿba and said. "Allahu Akbar" in all its directions and came out and not offer any prayer therein.

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Mecca, he refused to enter the Kaaba as it contained idols. So he ordered them to be removed. They then brought out the statues of Ibrahim and Ismail, which were holding the arrows in their hands. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "May Allah curse them! By Allah, they knew well that they never used to swear by those (idols)." Then he entered the Kaaba and made takbeer in its corners, but he did not pray in it. This is the wording of the Hadith of Abu Imran and the Hadith of the Qadi is shortened, that the Prophet ﷺ entered the Kaaba and made takbeer in its corners, then he descended and did not pray.
