Hadith 23894

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ ، وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، وَبِلَالٌ قَدْ غَلَقَهَا ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ سَأَلْتُ بِلَالًا : مَاذَا صَنَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : " تَرَكَ عَمُودَيْنِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَمُودًا عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ، وَثَلَاثَةَ أَعْمِدَةٍ خَلْفَهُ ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَذْرُعٍ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once entered the House of Allah (the Ka'bah). At that time, Hazrat Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), Uthman bin Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him), and Hazrat Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) were with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). At the command of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Hazrat Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) closed the door, and they remained inside for as long as Allah willed. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out, I first met Hazrat Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him, "Where did the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pray?" He replied that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed leaving two pillars on his right, one on his left, and three behind him. At that time, there was a distance of three cubits between the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Qiblah wall.
