حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ لِأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ حَتَّى أَنَاخَ بِفِنَاءِ الْكَعْبَةِ فَدَعَا عُثْمَانَ بْنَ طَلْحَةَ بِالْمِفْتَاحِ فَجَاءَ بِهِ فَفَتَحَ فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأُسَامَةُ وَبِلَالٌ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ فَأَجَافُوا عَلَيْهِمْ الْبَابَ مَلِيًّا ثُمَّ فَتَحُوهُ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَبَادَرْتُ النَّاسَ فَوَجَدْتُ بِلَالًا عَلَى الْبَابِ قَائِمًا فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ بَيْنَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ الْمُقَدَّمَيْنِ قَالَ وَنَسِيتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ كَمْ صَلَّى
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4891
It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: On the day of the conquest of Makkah, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) entered (the city) on a camel belonging to Usaamah ibn Zayd, until he made it kneel in the courtyard of the Ka'bah. Then he called 'Uthmaan ibn Talhah to bring the key, and he brought it to him and opened (the door). The Prophet (PBUH) entered, accompanied by Usaamah, Bilaal and 'Uthmaan ibn Talhah, and they closed the door behind them for a while, then they opened it. 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said: i went ahead of the people and I found Bilaal standing at the door. I said: Where did the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) pray? He said: Between the two front pillars. And I forgot to ask him how many (rak'ahs) he prayed.
