Messenger of Allah, ﷺ entered the House, and Usama, Bilal and Uthman b. Talha were with him, and they kept the door closed for a considerable time. Then it was opened and I was the first to enter the House and meet Bilal, and I said: Where did Messenger of Allah ﷺ observe prayer? He said: Between these two front pillars. I, however, forgot to ask him the number of rak'ahs that he observed.
