Narrated Yala ibn Umayyah: The Prophet ﷺ said: Hoarding up food (to sell it at a high price) in the sacred territory is a deviation (from right to wrong).

Bakr bin Abdullah said “A man said to Ibn Abbas “What about the people of this House? They supply Nabidh to the public while their cousins provide milk, honey and mush (sawiq). Is this due to their niggardliness or need? Ibn Abbas replied “This is due neither to our niggardliness nor to our need, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ (once) entered upon us on his riding beast and ‘Usamah bin Zaid was sitting behind him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for drink. Nabidh was brought to him and he drank from it and gave its left over to Usamah bin Zaid who drank from it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said “You have done a good and handsome deed and do it in a similar way. It is due to this we are doing so, we do not want to change what the Messenger of Allah ﷺhad said.

Umar bin Abd Al Aziz asked Al Saib bin Yazid “Did you hear anything relating to staying at Makkah (after the completion of the rites of Hajj)? He said “Ibn Al Hadrami told me that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say “The Muhajirun (Immigrants) are allowed to stay at the Kaabah (Makkah) for three days after the obligatory circumambulation (Tawaf Al Ziyarah or Sadr)”.

Abd Allaah bin Umar said “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the Kaabah and along with him entered Usamah bin Zaid, Uthman bin Talhah Al Hajabi and Bilal. He then closed the door and stayed there. Abdullah bin Umar said “I asked Bilal when he came out What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do (there)? He replied “He stood with a pillar on his left, two pillars on his right, and three pillars behind him. At that time the House (the Kaabah) stood on six pillars. He then prayed.

The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted by Malik through a different chain of narrators. He (Abd Al Rahman bin Mahdi) did not mention the words “pillars”. This version adds “He then prayed and there was a distance of three cubits between him and the qiblah. ”

This tradition has also been transmitted by Ibn Umar through a different chain of narrators like the one narrated by Al Qanabi. This version has “ I forgot to ask the number of rak’ahs he offered.

Abd Al Rahman bin Safwan said “I asked Umar bin Al Khattab How did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do when he entered the Kaabah? He said “He offered two rak’ahs of prayer. ”

Abbas said “When the Prophet ﷺ came to Makkah he refused to enter the House (the Kaabah) for there were idols in it. He ordered to take them out and they were taken out. The statues of Abraham and Ismail were taken out and they had arrows in their hands. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said “May Allaah destroy them! By Allaah, they knew that they never cast lots by arrow. He then entered the House (the Kaabah) and uttered the takbir (Allaah is most great) in all its sides and corners. He then came out and did not pray.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: I liked to enter the House (the Kabah) and pray therein. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ caught me by hand and admitted me to al-Hijr. He then said: Pray in al-Hijr when you intend to enter the House (the Kabah), for it is a part of the House (the Kabah). Your people shortened it when they built the Kabah, and they took it out of the House.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Prophet ﷺ went out from me, while he was happy, but he returned to me while he was sad. He said: I entered the Kabah, I know beforehand about my affair what I have come to know later I would not have entered it. I am afraid I have put my community to hardship.
