Entering the Ka‘bah

5ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ الْعَبْدَ الصَّالِحَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ عَلَى الرُّخَامَةِ الْحَمْرَاءِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْحَائِطَ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ الْيَمَانِيِّ وَالْغَرْبِيِّ فَوَقَعَ يَدُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَزِقَ بِهِ وَدَعَا ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلَ إِلَى الرُّكْنِ الْيَمَانِيِّ فَلَصِقَ بِهِ وَدَعَا ثُمَّ أَتَى الرُّكْنَ الْغَرْبِيَّ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ.
5. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I saw (Allah’s) virtuous servant عليه السلام, enter al-Ka‘bah and perform two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) on the red marble, then stand up and face the wall between al-Yemaniy and western corners. He (the Imam) placed his hand on it and wiped and prayed, then turned to al-Yemaniy corner, touched it and prayed, then he (the Imam) came to the western corner and went out.”
