Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: On the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah riding on the camel of Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made his camel sit near the building of the Ka'bah. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Sayyiduna Uthman bin Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) for the key. He went to his mother, but his mother refused to give him the key. So he said: Either you will give me the key or the sword will come out from my back. So the woman gave him the key. He opened the door. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Uthman bin Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) entered the Ka'bah. These gentlemen closed the door for a short while. At that time, I was a young, strong man. When the door opened, I quickly reached the door. Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) came before me, so I asked: O Bilal! Where did the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) perform the prayer? He replied: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the prayer between the two pillars in front. (Abdullah bin Umar says) I did not remember to ask him how many rak'ahs the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had performed.
