Sayyiduna al-Muttalib bin Abi Wada'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he finished his tawaf, come to one edge of the area of circumambulation and pray two rak'ahs, with no one (as a barrier) between him and those performing tawaf. This hadith is sahih (authentic), and Imam Bukhari mentioned in his al-Tarikh that Sayyiduna al-Muttalib saw the Prophet.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying when a goat began to pass in front of him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) moved forward towards the qiblah until he pressed his stomach against the qiblah (wall) (so that it would pass behind him). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
