I said (to `Ata'), That (i.e. finishing the Ihram) was after coming form `Arafat. `Ata' said, Ibn `Abbas used to allow it before going to `Arafat (after finishing the `Umra) and after coming from it (i.e. after performing the Hajj).

The Prophet stayed there for a long period and then came out. The people rushed to get in, but I went in before them and found Bilal standing behind the gate, and I said to him, Where did the Prophet pray? He said, He prayed between those two front pillars. The Ka`ba was built on six pillars, arranged in two rows, and he prayed between the two pillars of the front row leaving the gate of the Ka`ba at his back and facing (in prayer) the wall which faces one when one enters the Ka`ba.

There was a red piece of marble at the place where he (i.e. the Prophet) had offered the prayer.
