2917. It was narrated from Usâmah bin Zaid that he and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ entered the House, and he told Bilâl to shut the door. At that time the House was built on six pillars. He walked forward until, when he was
between the two columns that are on either side of the door of the Ka'bah, he sat down, praised Allâh, asked of Him, and prayed for forgiveness. Then he got up, and went to the back wall of the Ka'bah, placed his face and cheek against it and praised Allâh, asked of Him, and prayed for forgiveness. Then he went to each corner of the Ka'bah and faced it, reciting the Takbîr, the Tahlîl and the Tasbîh, praising Allâh, asking of Him and praying for forgiveness. Then he came out and prayed two Rak'ahs facing the front of the Ka'bah, then he moved away and said: 'This is the Qiblah, this is the Qiblah.' (Hasan)

Commentary
It has been mentioned above that 'Uthmân bin Talhah had closed the door. In actuality, he ﷺ must have commanded Bilâl. Thereupon, they closed it together, because 'Uthmân was the keeper of the door.
