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.

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.
