The Prophet ﷺ entered the Kaʿba along with Usama bin Zaid, ʿUthman bin Talha and Bilal and remained there for a long time. When they came out, I was the first man to enter the Kaʿba. I asked Bilal "Where did the Prophet ﷺ pray?" Bilal replied, "Between the two front Pillars."  

دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْبَيْتَ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ وَبِلاَلٌ فَأَطَالَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَكُنْتُ أَوَّلَ النَّاسِ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَثَرِهِ فَسَأَلْتُ بِلاَلاً أَيْنَ صَلَّى قَالَ بَيْنَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ الْمُقَدَّمَيْنِ  

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the Kaba with Usama ibn Zayd, Bilal ibn Rabah and Uthman ibn Talha al-Hajabi and locked it behind him and stayed there for some time. Abdullah said that he asked Bilal when he came out what the Messenger of Allah had done there and he said, "He positioned himself with one support to his left, two supports to his right, and three behind him (the house had six supports at that time) and then he prayed."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ هُوَ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَبِلاَلُ بْنُ رَبَاحٍ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ الْحَجَبِيُّ فَأَغْلَقَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَمَكَثَ فِيهَا قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَسَأَلْتُ بِلاَلاً حِينَ خَرَجَ مَا صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ جَعَلَ عَمُودًا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَمُودَيْنِ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَثَلاَثَةَ أَعْمِدَةٍ وَرَاءَهُ وَكَانَ الْبَيْتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى سِتَّةِ أَعْمِدَةٍ ثُمَّ صَلَّى  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the house along with Bilal, Usama ibn Zaid, and Uthman ibn Talha. They knocked on the door and stayed for an hour, then he came out. When the door was opened, I was the first one to enter, so I asked Bilal, "Where did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray?" He said, "Between the two front pillars." I forgot to ask him how many raka'at he prayed.  

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْبَيْتَ هُو وَبِلَالٌ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ فَأَجَافُوا الْبَابَ وَمَكَثُوا سَاعَةً ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَلَمَّا فُتِحَ كُنْتُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ دَخَلَ فَسَأَلْتُ بِلَالًا أَيْنَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ بَيْنَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ الْمُقَدَّمَيْنِ وَنَسِيتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ كَمْ صَلَّى  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ entered the house with Bilal, Usama bin Zaid, and Uthman bin Talha. He commanded Bilal to close the door behind them, and they stayed inside for a while. Then he went out, and when he opened the door, I was the first to enter. I asked Bilal, "Where did the Messenger of Allah pray?" He replied, "Between the two pillars in the front," but I forgot to ask him how many units (rak'ahs) he prayed.  

أن رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دَخَل الْبَيْتَ هُوَ وبِلَالٌ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ فَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَأَجَافَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْبَابَ فَمَكَثُوا سَاعَةً ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ كُنْتُ أَوَّلَ مَْ دَخَلَ فَسَأَلْتُ بلِاَلًا أَيْنَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ؟ قَالَ بَيْنَ الْعَمُودَيْنِالْمُقَدَّمَيْنِ وَنَسِيتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ كَمْ صَلَّى؟  

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. (Using translation from Muslim 1329d)  

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْبَيْتَ وَمَعَهُ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَبِلَالٌ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ فَأَجَافُوا الْبَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ فُتِحَ فَكُنْتُ أَوْلَ مَنْ دَخَلَ فَلَقِيتُ بِلَالًا فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ «بَيْنَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ الْمُقَدَّمَيْنِ» فَنَسِيتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ كَمْ صَلَّى  

‘Abd Allaah bin Umar said “The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ entered the Ka’bah and along with him entered Usamah bin Zaid, Uthman bin Talhah Al Hajabi and Bilal. He then closed the door and stayed there. ‘Abd Allah bin ‘Umar said “I asked Bilal when he came out What did the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ do (there)? He replied “He stood with a pillar on his left, two pillars on his right, and three pillars behind him. At that time the House (the Ka’bah) stood on six pillars. He then prayed. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2023)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ هُوَ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ وَبِلَالُ بْنُ رَبَاحٍ مَعَهُ فَأَغْلَقَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَمَكَثَ فِيهَا قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَسَأَلْتُ بِلَالًا حِينَ خَرَجَ أَيْنَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «جَعَلَ عَمُودًا عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَعَمُودَيْنِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَثَلَاثَةَ أَعْمِدَةٍ وَرَاءَهُ» وَكَانَ الْبَيْتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى سِتَّةِ أَعْمِدَةٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the Kaaba, alongside Usama bin Zaid, Bilal, and Uthman bin Talha. He stayed in the house for a while and then came out. Abdullah bin Umar followed in his footsteps and was the first to ask Bilal, "Where did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray?" Bilal replied, "Between the two front pillars." I forgot to ask him how many times he prayed.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَبِلَالٌ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ فَمَكَثَ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَأَطَالَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَدَخَلَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَلَى أَثَرِهِ أَوَّلَ النَّاسِ فَسَأَلَ بِلَالًا أَيْنَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «بَيْنَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ الْمُقَدَّمَيْنِ» وَنَسِيتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ كَمْ صَلَّى  

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ entered the Kaaba, and Usama bin Zaid, Uthman bin Talha, and Bilal were with him, and he stayed there for a while. I was the first person to enter after the footsteps of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so I asked Bilal, 'Where did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray?' He said, 'He performed two Rak'ahs between the two front pillars.'"  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ وَبِلَالٌ فَمَكَثَ بِهَا فَأَطَالَ» وَكُنْتُ أَوَّلَ النَّاسِ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَثَرَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لِبِلَالٍ أَيْنَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَيْنَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ الْمُقَدَّمَيْنِ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the Kaaba and with him were Usama bin Zaid, Bilal, and Hajib al-Kaaba. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out, I was the first to enter and I found Bilal at the door. I asked him where did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray? He replied, 'Between the two front pillars.'"  

«دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْكَعْبَةَ وَمَعَهُ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَبِلَالٌ وَمَعَهُ حَاجِبُ الْكَعْبَةِ» فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُنْتُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ دَخَلَ فَوَجَدْتُ بِلَالًا عَلَى الْبَابِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ أَيْنَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «بَيْنَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ الْمُقَدَّمَيْنِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the house accompanied by Al-Fadl ibn Abbas, Usamah ibn Zaid, Bilal, and Uthman ibn Talhah. He stayed for a while and then left. I hurriedly went to see the people and found myself among the first to enter. I met Bilal and asked him, "Where did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray?" He replied, "Between the two front pillars." Ibn Umar said, "And I forgot to ask him how many units he prayed."  

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْبَيْتَ وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَبِلَالٌ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ فَأَطَالَ الْمُكْثَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَابْتَدَرْتُ النَّاسَ فَكُنْتُ فِي أَوَّلِ مَنْ دَخَلَ فَلَقِيتُ بِلَالًا فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «بَيْنَ الْأُسْطَوَانَتَيْنِ الْمُقَدَّمَتَيْنِ» قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ «وَنَسِيتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ كَمْ صَلَّى»  

Did Messenger of Allah ﷺ observe prayer in it? He said: Yes, he observed prayer between these two Yemenite pillars (pillars situated towards the side of Yemen). (Using translation from Muslim 1329f)  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ هُوَ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَبِلَالٌ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ فَأَغْلَقُوا عَلَيْهِمْ» فَلَمَّا فَتَحُوا كُنْتُ فِي أَوَّلِ مَنْ وَلَجَ فَلَقِيتُ بِلَالًا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ صَلَّى فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ «صَلَّى بَيْنَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ الْيَمَانِيَيْنِ»
