874. Ibn 'Umar narrated from Bilāl: "The Prophet ﷺ performed Ṣalāt in the interior of the Ka'bah." And Ibn 'Abbās said: "He did not perform Ṣalāt in it, but he said the Takbīr." (Ṣaḥīḥ) (He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Usāmah bin Zaid, Al-Faḍl bin 'Abbās, 'Uthmān bin Talḥah, and Shaibah bin 'Uthmān. Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of Bilāl is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth, and it is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge, they did not see any harm in performing Ṣalāt inside the Ka'bah. Mālik bin Anas said: "There is no harm in voluntary Ṣalāt inside the Ka'bah, and it is disliked to perform the obligatory Ṣalāt inside the Ka'bah." Ash-Shāfi'ī said: "There is no harm in performing the obligatory or the voluntary Ṣalāt inside the Ka'bah because the rules for the voluntary and obligatory are the same in the case of purification and the Qiblah."

٨٧٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ ‌عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ ‌بِلَالٍ «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى فِي جَوْفِ الْكَعْبَةِ». قَالَ ‌ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : لَمْ يُصَلِّ وَلَكِنَّهُ كَبَّرَ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، وَالْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَعُثْمَانَ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، وَشَيْبَةَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ. حَدِيثُ بِلَالٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ؛ لَا يَرَوْنَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فِي الْكَعْبَةِ بَأْسًا. وَقَالَ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ: لَا بَأْسَ بِالصَّلَاةِ النَّافِلَةِ فِي الْكَعْبَةِ، وَكَرِهَ أَنْ تُصَلَّى الْمَكْتُوبَةُ فِي الْكَعْبَةِ. وَقَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ تُصَلَّى الْمَكْتُوبَةُ، وَالتَّطَوُّعُ فِي الْكَعْبَةِ؛ لِأَنَّ حُكْمَ النَّافِلَةِ وَالْمَكْتُوبَةِ فِي الطَّهَارَةِ وَالْقِبْلَةِ سَوَاءٌ.

Commentary

According to this narration of Bilāl, the Prophet ﷺ performed Ṣalāt in the interior of Ka'bah and according to Usāmah bin Zaid he did not perform Ṣalāt in it, he only said the Takbīr. Both of them Bilāl and Usāmah had entered the Ka'bah with the Prophet ﷺ but people prefer the narration of Bilāl because his narration implies affirmation.
