أَخْبَرَنَا حَاجِبُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْمَنْبِجِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْكَعْبَةَ فَسَبَّحَ فِي نَوَاحِيهَا وَكَبَّرَ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَصَلَّى خَلْفَ الْمَقَامِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ " هَذِهِ الْقِبْلَةُ " .

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2909
This takbir in the Kaaba hadith is narrated from Usamah bin Zaid. He said the Messenger of Allah entered the Kaaba and recited tasbih and takbir in its corners, but he did not pray inside. Then he came out and prayed two rakahs behind the Maqam. After that he said, “This is Qiblah.” The wording focuses on dhikr inside the House and prayer outside behind the Maqam. It should not be mixed with other reports without noting that this version says he did not pray inside. For searches like Prophet made takbir in Kaaba and this is the Qiblah hadith, this narration gives a clear sequence from entry to exit.
