Somebody came to the house of Ibn 'Umar and told him that Allah's Apostles had entered the
Ka'ba. Ibn 'Umar said, "I went in front of the Ka'ba and found that Allah's Apostle had come out of the
Ka'ba and I saw Bilal standing by the side of the gate of the Ka'ba. I said, 'O Bilal! Has Allah's Apostle
(p.b.u.h) prayed inside the Ka'ba?' Bilal replied in the affirmative. I said, 'Where (did he pray)?' He
replied, '(He prayed) Between these two pillars and then he came out and offered a two Rakat prayer
in front of the Ka'ba.' " Abu 'Abdullah said: Abu Huraira said, "The Prophet (p.b.u.h) advised me to of –
fer two Rakat of Duha prayer (prayer to be offered after sunrise and before midday). " Itban (bin Ma –
lik) said, "Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) and Abu Bakr, came to me after sunrise and we aligned behind the
Prophet (p.b.u.h) and offered two Rakat."
