Sunan an-Nasai 749 (Book 9, Hadith 8) #15357
Praying in the Ka'bah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) entered the Ka'bah with three companions and prayed with a certain distance between him and the wall.

Narrated Abdullah bin Umar: It was narrated from Abdullah bin Umar that the Messenger of Allah entered the Ka'bah with Usamah bin Zaid, Bilal and Uthman bin Talha al Hajabi, and locked the door behind him. Abdullah bin Umar said: "I asked Bilal when he came out: " What did the Messenger of Allah do?" He said: "He stood with one pillar to his left, two pillars to his right and three pillars behind him - at that time the House stood on six pillars - and he prayed with approximately three forearm's length between him and the wall".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ هُوَ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَبِلاَلٌ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ الْحَجَبِيُّ فَأَغْلَقَهَا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ فَسَأَلْتُ بِلاَلاً حِينَ خَرَجَ مَاذَا صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ جَعَلَ عَمُودًا عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَعَمُودَيْنِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَثَلاَثَةَ أَعْمِدَةٍ وَرَاءَهُ - وَكَانَ الْبَيْتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى سِتَّةِ أَعْمِدَةٍ - ثُمَّ صَلَّى وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجِدَارِ نَحْوًا مِنْ ثَلاَثَةِ أَذْرُعٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abdullah bin Umar tells us about how Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed in the Ka'bah. He entered it with three of his companions, Usamah bin Zaid, Bilal and Uthman bin Talha al Hajabi, and locked the door behind him. He then stood at one pillar to his left, two pillars to his right and three pillars behind him - at that time there were six pillars - and he prayed with approximately three forearm's length between him and the wall. This hadith teaches us that when we pray we should be mindful of our surroundings as well as our distance from them. We should also strive to maintain a certain level of respect for places of worship such as mosques or churches by keeping a respectful distance from them while praying. Additionally, this hadith reminds us that even though we may be surrounded by people or things that are distracting us from prayer, we should still strive to focus on our prayer despite these distractions.
