It was narrated from Usamah bin Zaid that he and the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم s entered the House, and he told Bilal to shut the door. At that time the House was built on six pillars. He walked forward until, when he was between the two columns that are on either side of the door of the Ka’bah, he sat down, praised Allah, asked of Him, and prayed for forgiveness. Then he got up, and went to the back wall of the Ka’bah, placed his face and cheek against it and praised Allah, asked of Him, and prayed for forgiveness. Then he went to each corner of the Ka’bah and faced it, reciting the Takbir, the Ta/ill! and the Tasbih, praising Allah, asking of Him and praying for forgiveness. Then he came out and prayed two Rak facing the front of the Ka’bah, then he moved away and said: ‘This is the Qiblah, this is the Qiblah.” (Hasan)
