Bayhaqi 9722 — Entering the House and praying inside it

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقَاضِي، وَأَبُو عِمْرَانَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ قَالَا: ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، ثنا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ يَعْنِي مَكَّةَ أَبَى أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْبَيْتَ وَفِيهِ الْآلِهَةُ، قَالَ: فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَأُخْرِجَتْ، قَالَ: فَأَخْرَجُوا صُورَةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمَا الْأَزْلَامُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " قَاتَلَهُمُ اللهُ أَمَا وَاللهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمُوا أَنَّهُمَا لَمْ يَسْتَقْسِمَا بِهَا قَطُّ " قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ فَكَبَّرَ فِي نَوَاحِيهِ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ فِيهِ هَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ، وَحَدِيثُ الْقَاضِي مُخْتَصَرٌ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ فَكَبَّرَ فِي نَوَاحِيهِ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ، رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ وَالْقَوْلُ قَوْلُ مَنْ قَالَ: صَلَّى؛ لِأَنَّهُ شَاهِدٌ وَالَّذِي قَالَ: لَمْ يُصَلِّ لَيْسَ بِشَاهِدٍ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Makkah, he refused to enter the House as long as the idols were in it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the order, and the idols were taken out. Among them were brought out images of Sayyiduna Ibrahim and Sayyiduna Isma'il (peace be upon them both), holding divining arrows in their hands. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah destroy them! By Allah, they know well that these two never sought omens with them." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the House, said the takbir in its corners, and did not pray in it. These are the words of the hadith of Abu Imran; the hadith of al-Qadi is brief: that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the House, said the takbir in its corners, then came down and did not pray.
The correct view is that of the one who said that he (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed, because he was an eyewitness, and the one who said that he did not pray was not a witness.
