حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ضَمْرَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ، كَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ مَشَى قِبَلَ وَجْهِهِ حِينَ يَدْخُلُ وَجَعَلَ الْبَابَ قِبَلَ ظَهْرِهِ ، فَمَشَى حَتَّى يَكُونَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجِدَارِ الَّذِي قِبَلَ وَجْهِهِ قَرِيبًا مِنْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَذْرُعٍ صَلَّى يَتَوَخَّى الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي أَخْبَرَهُ بِهِبِلَالٌ أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى فِيهِ ، قَالَ : " وَلَيْسَ عَلَى أَحَدِنَا بَأْسٌ إِنْ صَلَّى فِي أَيِّ نَوَاحِي الْبَيْتِ شَاءَ " .
Narrated Nafi': Whenever 'Abdullah entered the Ka'bah, he used to go ahead leaving the door of the Ka'bah behind him. He would proceed on till the remaining distance between him and the opposite wall about three cubits. Then he would off prayer there where the Prophet (saws) had offered Salat, as Bilal informed me. Ibn 'Umar said, "It does not matter for any of us to offer prayers at any place inside the Ka'bah."

Hadith Commentary:
1.
This chapter is without a title (balā tarjama), as if it is the result or supplement of the previous chapter, because although there is no explicit mention of praying between the pillars in it, it is evident from this that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) prayed at a distance of three cubits from the wall of the Ka‘bah, and this place was situated between the pillars.
(Fath al-Bari: 1/749)
A new heading can be established for this narration, for example:
“One may pray anywhere inside the House of Allah (Bayt Allah).”
This subject is established from the statement of Ibn ‘Umar (radi Allahu anhu).
Shah Waliullah Muhaddith Dehlawi (rahimahullah) writes in the commentaries on the chapter headings of Bukhari that this untitled chapter should be considered as a section of the previous chapter.
It is shown in this that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stood between two pillars, and there was a distance of approximately three handspans between him and the wall towards which he faced for prayer.
It should be noted that here Ibn ‘Umar (radi Allahu anhu) himself clarified that he does not do this out of obligation or necessity, but rather adopts it considering it recommended (mustahabb) and preferred.
Certainly, the opinion of Ibn ‘Umar (radi Allahu anhu) is extremely balanced, that such permissible (mubah) matters should not be done considering them obligatory (wajib) or necessary, while their recommendation (istihbab) remains in its place.
