3063. It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ entered the Ka'bah on the Day of the Conquest (of Makkah), with Bilāl and 'Uthmān bin Shaibah, and they locked the door behind them from the inside. When they came out, I asked Bilāl: 'Where did the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ pray?' He told me that when he entered, he turned to his right and prayed in the direction that he was facing, between the two columns."
Then I blamed myself as to why I did not ask him how many Rak'ah did the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ pray? (Sahih)

Commentary
Entering in the Ka'bah and praying inside it is allowed.
Going inside the Ka'bah is not a part of Hajj or 'Umrah. The Prophet ﷺ entered the Ka'bah when Makkah was conquered. (Fathul-Bari, volume 2, page 592, Hadith no. 1601)
At that time there were six pillars inside the Ka'bah; three of them were in a row and the other three were in another row. The Prophet ﷺ, after entering from the door, moved forward and prayed between two pillars.
