حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، ثنا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ ، ثنا خَالِدٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ جَعْدَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : " دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْبَيْتَ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَبِلالٌ خَلْفَهُ ، فَقُلْتُ لِبِلالٍ : هَلْ صَلَّى ؟ قَالَ : لا ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ دَخَلَ فَسَأَلْتُ بِلالا : هَلْ صَلَّى ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، اسْتَقْبَلَ الْجَزَعَةَ وَجَعَلَ السَّارِيَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the Ka'bah, then he came out, and Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) was behind him. I asked Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him): Did the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) perform prayer (inside the Ka'bah)? He replied: No! The narrator states: The next day, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again entered the Ka'bah. I again asked Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him): Did the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) perform prayer inside the Ka'bah? He replied: Yes! The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed two rak'ahs, he faced the trunk of the tree and kept the other pillar to his right side.
