Safiyyah bint Shaybah narrates: A woman belonging to Banu Sulaym told me that she asked Sayyiduna ‘Uthman bin Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) about the supplication made by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after he entered the Ka‘bah. He replied: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me:“I saw the horns of a ram inside the House (Ka‘bah), and I forgot to instruct you to cover them, so now you should cover them, for there should not be anything in the House of Allah that distracts the attention of a person praying.”
