[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ approached while Usamah was driving the camel, and with him were Bilal and Uthman bin Talhah until they reached the house. The Messenger said to Uthman, "Bring us the key." So he brought the key and opened the door for him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Usamah, Bilal, and Uthman bin Talhah entered and the door was closed behind them. They stayed in the house for a long time and then the people started to enter. I hurried and found Bilal standing behind the people, so I asked, "Where did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray?" He said, "He prayed between the two front pillars, and he made the people stand behind his back while facing the direction you are facing."

The Prophet ﷺ arrived (at Mecca) in the year of the Conquest (of Mecca) while Usama was riding behind him on (his she-camel)'. Al-Qaswa.' Bilal and ʿUthman bin Talha were accompanying him. When he made his she-camel kneel down near the Kaʿba, he said to ʿUthman, "Get us the key (of the Kaʿba). He brought the key to him and opened the gate (of the Kaʿba), for him. The Prophet, Usama, Bilal and ʿUthman (bin Talha) entered the Kaʿba and then closed the gate behind them (from inside). The Prophet ﷺ stayed there for a long period and then came out. The people rushed to get in, but I went in before them and found Bilal standing behind the gate, and I said to him, "Where did the Prophet ﷺ pray?" He said, "He prayed between those two front pillars." The Kaʿba was built on six pillars, arranged in two rows, and he prayed between the two pillars of the front row leaving the gate of the Kaʿba at his back and facing (in prayer) the wall which faces one when one enters the Kaʿba. Between him and that wall (was the distance of about three cubits). But I forgot to ask Bilal about the number of rakʿat the Prophet ﷺ had prayed. There was a red piece of marble at the place where he (i.e. the Prophet) had offered the prayer.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered on the day of the conquest of Mecca on a camel belonging to Usama bin Zaid until he reached the courtyard of the Kaaba. He called for Usama bin Talha with the key, so he came with it and opened the door. The Prophet ﷺ entered along with Usama, Bilal, and Usama bin Talha. They crowded around them by the door, then they opened it. Abdullah said, "I hastened to people and found Bilal standing by the door, so I asked him, 'Where did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray?' He said, 'Between the two front pillars.' He said, 'And I forgot to ask him how many units he prayed.'"

ahmad:23922Sufyān > Ayyūb > Nāfiʿ

[Machine] Narrated Ibn 'Umar: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered Makkah on the day of the conquest while he was riding on a camel belonging to Usamah bin Zaid. He headed towards the Ka'bah, then he called for Uthman bin Talhah with the key. When he brought it to him, his mother refused to give it to him. So he said, "Either you give it to me or I will draw out the sword from my sheath." So she gave it to him, and he opened the gate and entered. With him were Bilal, Uthman, and Usamah. They circled the Ka'bah and locked the gate after them. Ibn 'Umar said: "I was a young and strong man, so I hurried ahead of the people and surpassed them. I found Bilal standing by the gate, so I asked him, 'Where did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray?' He said, 'Between the two pillars in front.' I forgot to ask him how many Rak'ahs he prayed."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode on the day of the conquest on a camel belonging to Usama ibn Zaid, and Usama rode alongside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . With them were Bilal and Uthman ibn Talha. When they reached the Kaaba, Uthman ibn Talha was sent for and he brought the key to the Kaaba and opened it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ , along with Usama, Uthman ibn Talha, and Bilal, entered the Kaaba and stayed inside for a long time. The door of the Kaaba was then closed upon them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then came out and the people crowded towards the Kaaba. Abdullah ibn Umar and others were ahead of them. Abdullah ibn Umar asked Bilal, "Where did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray?" Bilal replied, "I saw him pray in that place," without specifying how many prayers he performed.
