English translation

693. It was narrated from Sâlim that his father said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ entered the House (the Ka'bah), with Usâmah bin Zaid, Bilâl and 'Uthmân bin Talhah, and they locked the door behind them. When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ opened it, I was the first one to enter. I met Bilâl and asked him: 'Did the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ pray inside?' He said: 'Yes, he prayed between the two Yemeni columns.'" (Saḥīḥ)

Arabic text

692 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْبَيْتَ هُوَ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَبِلَالٌ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ فَأَغْلَقُوا عَلَيْهِمْ، فَلَمَّا فَتَحَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُنْتُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ وَلَجَ فَلَقِيتُ بِلَالًا فَسَأَلْتُهُ: هَلْ صَلَّى فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ. صَلَّى بَيْنَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ الْيَمَانِيَيْنِ»

Commentary

Imâm Ash-Shafi'î considers it permissible to perform optional prayer inside the Ka'bah, but not the obligatory one. This is because Allâh's Messenger ﷺ had offered an optional Prayer and not the obligatory prayer while inside the Ka'bah. The Hanafis, drawing an analogy with optional (Nafl) prayer, consider the obligatory prayer also to be permissible (inside the Ka'bah).
