“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the Ka’bah on the Day of the Conquest (of Makkah), with Bilal and ‘Uthman bin Shaibah, and they locked the door behind them from the inside. When they came out, I asked Bilal: ‘Where did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray?’ He told me that when he entered, he turned to his right and prayed in the direction that he was facing, between the two columns.”  

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ الْكَعْبَةَ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ شَيْبَةَ فَأَغْلَقُوهَا عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ فَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا سَأَلْتُ بِلاَلاً أَيْنَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ صَلَّى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ حِينَ دَخَلَ بَيْنَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ لُمْتُ نَفْسِي أَنْ لاَ أَكُونَ سَأَلْتُهُ كَمْ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

[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؟  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the Ka’bah on the Day of the Conquest (of Makkah), with Bilal and ‘Uthman bin Shaibah, and they locked the door behind them from the inside. When they came out, I asked Bilal: ‘Where did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray?’ He told me that when he entered, he turned to his right and prayed in the direction that he was facing, between the two columns.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3063)   

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ الْكَعْبَةَ وَمَعَهُ بِلَالٌ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ فَأَغْلَقُوا عَلَيْهِمُ الْبَابَ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ فَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا سَأَلْتُ بِلَالًا قُلْتُ أَيْنَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ رَأَيْتُهُ «صَلَّى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ حِينَ دَخَلَ بَيْنَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ» ثُمَّ لُمْتُ نَفْسِي أَنْ لَا أَكُونَ سَأَلْتُهُ كَمْ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

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
