وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دخل الْكَعْبَة وَأُسَامَة بن زيد وبلال وَعُثْمَان بن طَلْحَة الحَجبي فَأَغْلَقَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَمَكَثَ فِيهَا فَسَأَلْتُ بِلَالًا حِينَ خَرَجَ مَاذَا صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: جعل عمودا عَن يَسَارِهِ وَعَمُودَيْنِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَثَلَاثَةَ أَعْمِدَةٍ وَرَاءَهُ وَكَانَ الْبَيْتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى سِتَّةِ أَعْمِدَةِ ثُمَّ صلى
God’s Messenger entered the Kaba with Usamah ibn Zayd, Uthman ibn Talha al-Hajabi, and Bilal ibn Rabah, and locking it behind him, he remained inside. I asked Bilal when he came out what God’s Messenger had done, and he said, “He took up a position with one pillar on his left, two on his right, and three behind him (the House at that time having six pillars), then performed salat.”
