It is narrated from Ibn Jurayj, he says: I asked Ata whether he had heard Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) say that you have been commanded to perform Tawaf of the House of Allah, but you have not been commanded to enter it? Ata replied that Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) did not prevent anyone from entering the House of Allah, but I heard him say that Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the House of Allah, he supplicated in all its corners and did not perform prayer inside it, until he came out. Then, after coming out, he performed two rak'ahs directly in front of the Ka'bah and said: This is the Qiblah.

It is narrated from Amr bin Dinar that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported from Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed prayer inside the House of Allah (the Ka'bah). Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) also said that Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not perform prayer inside the House of Allah, but rather proclaimed the greatness of Allah (takbeer) in all its corners.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood inside the Ka'bah and proclaimed the glorification and greatness of Allah, supplicated to Allah Almighty, sought forgiveness, and did not perform bowing (ruku') or prostration (sujud).

It is also narrated from Fadl bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, that when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, entered the Ka'bah, he fell into prostration between two pillars, then sat and supplicated.

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Fadl (may Allah be pleased with him) that he entered the House of Allah (the Ka'bah) with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not perform prayer inside after entering. However, when he came out, he descended from the door of the House of Allah and performed two rak'ahs near the door.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the Ka'bah. There were six pillars inside it. He went to each pillar and stood by it, but did not perform prayer.

(Second chain) The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, did not perform prayer inside the House of Allah; however, he did turn towards every corner of it.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the House of Allah (the Ka'bah), my brother Sayyiduna Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was also with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not perform prayer inside the Ka'bah. However, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered, he prostrated between two pillars, and then sat and supplicated.
