Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the Ka'bah, and Usamah bin Zaid, Bilal, and Uthman bin Talhah Hajabi were also with him. Then Uthman closed the door of the Ka'bah, and the Prophet stayed inside. When he came out, I asked Bilal, "What did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) do inside?" He replied, "He left one pillar to his left, one to his right, and three behind him, and at that time there were six pillars in the Ka'bah. Then he performed prayer."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the Ka'bah, he supplicated in all four corners but did not perform prayer. Then when he came out, he performed two units of prayer facing the Ka'bah and said: "This is the Qiblah."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ‘Umrah, he circumambulated the Ka‘bah and then offered two rak‘ahs behind Maqam Ibrahim. There were some people with him who were forming a barrier between him and the rest of the people. One of those individuals asked Ibn Abi Awfa,“Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) enter the Ka‘bah?”He replied,“No.”
