2026. ‘Abdur-Raḥmān bin Ṣafwān narrated that he asked ‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb: “What did the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ do when he entered the Ka’bah?” He replied: “He prayed two Rak’ah.” (Ṣaḥīh)

Arabic text

2026 - حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ: كَيْفَ صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ؟ قَالَ: «صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ»

Commentary

If a person has the chance to enter the Ka’bah, he should perform two Rak’ahs there. If he does not have the chance, he may perform the prayer in the Ḥajim which is also a part of the Ka’bah.
