Mukhtasar Muslim

‘Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came on the day of the conquest of Makkah and alighted in the courtyard of the Ka‘bah. He sent for ‘Uthman bin Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him), the keeper of the Ka‘bah’s key, so he brought the key and opened the door. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Bilal, Sayyiduna Usama, and ‘Uthman bin Talhah (may Allah be pleased with them) entered inside, and he ordered the door to be closed, so it was closed. (The Prophet and the companions) stayed for a short while, then the door was opened. I was the first of the people to meet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) outside the Ka‘bah, and Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) was behind him. So I asked Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), “Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) pray?” He said, “Yes.” I asked, “Where?” He said, “Between the two pillars in front of him.” And I forgot to ask how many rak‘ahs he prayed.
