It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) informed him that he entered the House of Allah (the Ka'bah) with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the House of Allah, he did not perform prayer inside it; however, when he came out, he performed prayer near the door of the House of Allah.
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated from Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed inside the House of Allah (the Ka'bah), but Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say that he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pray inside it; rather, he glorified Allah in its corners.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed prayer in the House of Allah (the Ka'bah).
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left from me, there was calmness in his eyes and he was in a very pleasant mood, but when he returned, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sorrowful. I said: O Messenger of Allah! When you left from me, there was delight in your eyes and your temperament was pleasant, but now you have returned sorrowful? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I am afraid that after me, I have imposed upon my Ummah a task that will tire them.
(Second chain) Sayyida narrates: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came to me one day and said: Today I have performed an action, and I wish I had not done it. I entered the House of Allah (the Ka'bah), and now I fear that a man may come from a distant region, but when he is unable to enter the House of Allah, he will return in such a state that there will be a kind of restlessness in his soul.
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: O Messenger of Allah! All your wives have entered the House of Allah (Ka'bah) except me (and I have not entered). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Send a message to Shaybah that he should open the door for you. So she sent the message, but Shaybah said: Neither in the time of ignorance did we have the authority, nor do we have it now in Islam, to open it at night. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Aisha! Then perform prayer in the Hijr, because when your people built the House of Allah, due to lack of funds, they made it smaller. In another narration: Perform prayer in the Hijr, for it is also a part of the House of Allah.
