أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا السَّائِبُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، قَالَ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْكَعْبَةَ وَدَنَا خُرُوجُهُ وَوَجَدْتُ شَيْئًا فَذَهَبْتُ وَجِئْتُ سَرِيعًا فَوَجَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَارِجًا فَسَأَلْتُ بِلاَلاً أَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْكَعْبَةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَيْنَ السَّارِيَتَيْنِ .
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah entered the Kabah, and was about to come out, when I thought of something, so I came quickly and I found the Messenger of Allah coming out. I asked Bilal: Did the Messenger of Allah prayed inside the Kabah?' He said: 'Yes, two Rakahs between the two columns.'

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2907
This two rakahs inside the Kaaba hadith adds the number that Ibn Umar asked about. Ibn Umar said the Messenger of Allah entered the Kaaba, and when he was about to come out, Ibn Umar remembered something and came quickly. He found the Messenger of Allah already coming out, so he asked Bilal whether the Prophet had prayed inside the Kaaba. Bilal said yes: two rakahs between the two columns. The text is useful for people searching did the Prophet pray inside the Kaaba or two rakahs in Kaaba hadith. It gives a clear answer from Bilal, who was with the Prophet inside, without adding rulings beyond what is narrated.
What we learn from this hadith
- Bilal confirmed that the Prophet prayed inside the Kaaba.
- The number mentioned here is two rakahs.
- The location is between the two columns.
- Ibn Umar made effort to learn the Prophet’s practice accurately.
