Sirat Ibn Hisham 1390
The Messenger's prayer in the House and b. ʿUmar's seeking out the place where he prayed
[ صَلَاةُ الرَّسُولِ بِالْبَيْتِ وَتَوَخِّي ابْنِ عُمَرَ مَكَانَهُ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَحَدَّثَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ وَمَعَهُ بِلَالٌ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَتَخَلَّفَ بِلَالٌ، فَدَخَلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَلَى بِلَالٍ، فَسَأَلَهُ: أَيْنَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ؟ وَلَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ كَمْ صَلَّى، فَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إذَا دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ مَشَى قِبَلَ وَجْهِهِ، وَجَعَلَ الْبَابَ قِبَلَ ظَهْرِهِ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجِدَارِ قَدْرُ ثَلَاثِ أَذْرُعٍ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي، يَتَوَخَّى بِذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعَ الَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ بِلَالٌ. [ سَبَبُ إسْلَامِ عَتَّابٍ وَالْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ وَحَدَّثَنِي: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ وَمَعَهُ بِلَالٌ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ، وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَعَتَّابُ بْنُ أَسِيدٍ وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ جُلُوسٌ بِفِنَاءِ الْكَعْبَةِ، فَقَالَ عَتَّابُ بْنُ أَسِيدٍ لَقَدْ أَكْرَمَ اللَّهُ أَسِيدًا أَلَّا يَكُونَ سَمِعَ هَذَا، فَيَسْمَعَ مِنْهُ مَا يَغِيظُهُ. فَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ: أَمَا وَاَللَّهِ لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ لَاتَّبَعْتُهُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ: لَا أَقُولُ شَيْئًا، لَوْ تَكَلَّمْتُ لَأَخْبَرَتْ عَنِّي هَذِهِ الْحَصَى، فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ النَّبِيُّ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ عَلِمْتُ الَّذِي قُلْتُمْ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ ؟ فَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ وَعَتَّابٌ: نَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، وَاَللَّهِ مَا اطَّلَعَ عَلَى هَذَا أَحَدٌ كَانَ مَعَنَا، فَنَقُولَ أَخْبَرَكَ
Translation
✧ Ibn Hishām said: And he related to me that the Messenger of God ﷺ entered the Kaʿbah, and with him was Bilāl. Then the Messenger of God ﷺ came out, and Bilāl remained behind. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUmar went in to Bilāl and asked him: Where did the Messenger of God ﷺ pray? He did not ask him how much he prayed. So whenever Ibn ʿUmar entered the House, he would walk facing forward, with the door behind his back, until there was between him and the wall about three cubits; then he would pray, seeking thereby the place which Bilāl had told him. Ibn Hishām said: And he related to me that the Messenger of God ﷺ entered the Kaʿbah in the year of the conquest, and with him was Bilāl. He ordered him to give the call to prayer, while Abū Sufyān b. Ḥarb, ʿAttāb b. Asīd, and al-Ḥārith b. Hishām were sitting in the courtyard of the Kaʿbah. ʿAttāb b. Asīd said: God has honored Asīd by not letting him hear this, lest he hear from him what would anger him. Al-Ḥārith b. Hishām said: By God, if I knew that it were true, I would follow him. Abū Sufyān said: I shall say nothing; if I spoke, these pebbles would report about me. Then the Prophet came out to them and said: I already know what you said. Then he mentioned that to them. Al-Ḥārith and ʿAttāb said: We bear witness that you are the Messenger of God. By God, no one with us was aware of this, so that we might say he informed you.
