It is narrated from Hazrat Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) that I entered the House of Allah (the Ka'bah) with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). (The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed Hazrat Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), and he closed the door. At that time, the House of Allah consisted of six pillars. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) walked and reached near the two pillars that were close to the door of the Ka'bah.) He sat down and praised Allah, proclaimed His greatness and oneness (made supplication and sought forgiveness), then stood up and went to the front part of the House of Allah and placed his blessed chest, cheek, and blessed hands upon it. Then he continued to proclaim Allah's greatness and oneness and supplicated. He did the same at every corner, and after coming out and reaching the door of the Ka'bah, he faced the Qiblah and said two or three times: "This is the Qiblah."
