10ـ وَعَنْهُ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِذَا دَخَلْتُ الْكَعْبَةَ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ قَالَ خُذْ بِحَلْقَتَيِ الْبَابِ إِذَا دَخَلْتَ ثُمَّ امْضِ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ فَصَلِّ عَلَى الرُّخَامَةِ الْحَمْرَاءِ ثُمَّ إِذَا خَرَجْتَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ فَنَزَلْتَ مِنَ الدَّرَجَةِ فَصَلِّ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ.
10. It is narrated from him (narrator of previous Hadith) from ibn Faddal from Yunus who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, ‘What should I do when I enter al-Ka‘bah? He (the Imam) said, ‘When entering hold the two rings of the door, then move forward until you reach the two pillars, then perform Salat (prayer) on the red marble. When you leave the House and climb down, perform two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) on your right side.’” (Fatwa best explains Hadith 5-10 of this Chapter)
