2910. It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ entered the Ka'bah, and was about to come out, when I thought of something, so I came quickly and I found the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ coming out. I asked Bilâl: 'Did the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ pray inside the Ka'bah?' He said: 'Yes, two Rak'ahs between the two columns.'" (Sahih)
2907 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا السَّائِبُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْكَعْبَةَ وَدَنَا خُرُوجُهُ وَوَجَدْتُ شَيْئًا، فَذَهَبْتُ، وَجِئْتُ سَرِيعًا، فَوَجَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَارِجًا، فَسَأَلْتُ بِلَالًا أَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْكَعْبَةِ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ، رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَيْنَ السَّارِيَتَيْنِ»

The Prophet's ﷺ performing the prayer inside of the Honored Ka'bah is absolutely definite (Qar'i), but it was an optional prayer. Therefore, only optional prayer should be prayed inside of the Ka'bah, and not obligatory prayer.
