876. 'Aishah narrated: "I wanted to enter the House to perform Salāt in it, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ took me by the hand and put me in the Hijr, and he said: 'Perform Salāt in the Hijr if you want to enter the House. For indeed it is part of the House, but your people considered it insignificant when they built the Ka'bah, so they put it outside of the House.”) (Sahih) Abū ‘Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih, and ‘Alqamah bin Abī ‘Alqamah is ‘Alqamah bin Bilāl.

Arabic text

٨٧٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ ‌عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَلْقَمَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أُمِّهِ ، عَنْ ‌عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «كُنْتُ أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَدْخُلَ الْبَيْتَ» فَأُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ، فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِي فَأَدْخَلَنِي الْحِجْرَ، فَقَالَ: صَلِّي فِي الْحِجْرِ إِنْ أَرَدْتِ دُخُولَ الْبَيْتِ، فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ قِطْعَةٌ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ، وَلَكِنَّ قَوْمَكِ اسْتَقْصَرُوهُ حِينَ بَنَوُا الْكَعْبَةَ فَأَخْرَجُوهُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَعَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ أَبِي عَلْقَمَةَ هُوَ عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ.

Commentary

The place adjacent to the northern wall with a short curved wall of the Ka'bah is called “Hijr” and performing voluntary Salāt at this place is equal to performing Salāt in interior of Ka'bah. This part of Ka'bah remained outside the building of Ka'bah by Allāh's will to save the people from the difficult situation of going inside and performing prayer there.
