Chapter on the Obligation to Follow the Imam – The Prophet’s Apparent Contradictory Action
Hadith 2220
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ بِلالا : " أَيْنَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ ؟ قَالَ : بَيْنَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ الْمُتَقَدِّمَيْنَ " . قَالَ : وَنَسِيتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ كَمْ صَلَّى . قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : هَذَا الْفِعْلُ يُنْهَى عَنْهُ بَيْنَ السَّوَارِي جَمَاعَةً ، وَأَمَّا اسْتِعْمَالُ الْمَرْءِ مِثْلَهُ مُنْفَرِدًا فَجَائِزٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: I asked Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him): When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the Ka'bah, where did he pray? He replied: Between the two front pillars. The narrator says: I did not remember to ask him how many rak'ahs the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The action is that it is prohibited to perform congregational prayer between the pillars, but as for an individual praying between the pillars, that is permissible.
