Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَبِلَالٌ قَدْ غَلَقَهَا فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ سَأَلْتُ بِلَالًا مَاذَا صَنَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ تَرَكَ عَمُودَيْنِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَمُودًا عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَثَلَاثَةَ أَعْمِدَةٍ خَلْفَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَذْرُعٍ.
English Translation
Abdur-Rahman narrated to us: Malik narrated to us, from Nafi', from Ibn Umar, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, entered the Ka'bah while Uthman bin Talhah, Usamah bin Zayd, and Bilal had closed it upon them. When he came out I asked Bilal what the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, had done. He said: He left two pillars on his right and one pillar on his left, and three pillars behind him, then he prayed with three cubits between him and the qiblah.
