Hadith #19
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ وَإِسْحَاقُ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَبِلَالٌ فَأَغْلَقَهَا فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ سَأَلْتُ بِلَالًا
مَاذَا صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ تَرَكَ عَمُودَيْنِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَمُودًا عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَثَلَاثَةَ أَعْمِدَةٍ خَلْفَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى وَبَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَذْرُعٍ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ وَكَانَ الْبَيْتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى سِتَّةِ أَعْمِدَةٍ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ الَّذِي بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi and Ishaq, from Malik, from Nafi' — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the Ka'ba along with 'Uthman ibn Talha, Usama ibn Zayd, and Bilal, and shut the door. When he came out, [Ibn 'Umar] asked Bilal: 'What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do inside?' He said: 'He left two pillars to his right and one pillar to his left and three pillars behind him, then prayed — with three cubits between him and the [direction of the] qibla.' — Ishaq added: 'The House at that time had six pillars.' And [the first narrator] did not mention the space between him and the qibla.
