Praying between the pillars when not in congregation
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَبِلاَلٌ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ الْحَجَبِيُّ فَأَغْلَقَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَمَكَثَ فِيهَا، فَسَأَلْتُ بِلاَلاً حِينَ خَرَجَ مَا صَنَعَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ جَعَلَ عَمُودًا عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، وَعَمُودًا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَثَلاَثَةَ أَعْمِدَةٍ وَرَاءَهُ، وَكَانَ الْبَيْتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى سِتَّةِ أَعْمِدَةٍ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ،
Translation
Ibn Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the Kaaba together with Usamah ibn Zayd, Bilal and Uthman ibn Talhah al-Hajabi, and that he closed it behind him and stayed inside. I asked Bilal, when he came out, what the Prophet ﷺ had done. He said, “He placed one pillar on his left, one pillar on his right and three pillars behind him – the House at that time stood on six pillars – then he prayed.”
Translator’s note: Al-Hajabi: from the family that kept the keys of the Kaaba.

Ibn Umar berichtete, dass der Gesandte Allahs ﷺ die Kaaba betrat, zusammen mit Usama ibn Zaid, Bilal und Uthman ibn Talha al-Hadschabi, und dass er sie hinter sich verschloss und darin verweilte. Ich fragte Bilal, als er herauskam, was der Prophet ﷺ getan habe. Er sagte: „Er ließ eine Säule zu seiner Linken, eine Säule zu seiner Rechten und drei Säulen hinter sich – das Haus stand damals auf sechs Säulen –, dann betete er.“
Translator’s note: Al-Hadschabi: aus der Familie, die die Schlüssel der Kaaba verwahrte.
