Sahih al-Bukhari 1137 (Book 19, Hadith 50)
Ibn `Umar said, “I went in front of the Ka`ba and found that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) 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
rak`at prayer in front of the Ka`ba.’ ” Abu `Abdullah said: Abu Huraira said, “The Prophet (p.b.u.h)
advised me to offer two rak`at of Duha prayer (prayer to be offered after sunrise and before midday). ”
Itban (bin Malik) said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
(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 rak`at.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 1137 (Book 19, Hadith 50)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
