Sahih al-Bukhari 1599 (Book 25, Hadith 85) #1536
Praying Inside the Ka'ba

SUMMARY: It is permissible to pray anywhere inside the Ka'ba, and it is recommended to pray in the same spot as Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).

Narrated Nafi': Whenever Ibn 'Umar entered the Ka'ba he used to walk straight keeping the door at his back on entering, and used to proceed on till about three cubits from the wall in front of him, and then he would offer the prayer there aiming at the place where Allah's Messenger prayed, as Bilal had told him. There is no harm for any person to offer the prayer at any place inside the Ka'ba.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ مَشَى قِبَلَ الْوَجْهِ حِينَ يَدْخُلُ، وَيَجْعَلُ الْبَابَ قِبَلَ الظَّهْرِ، يَمْشِي حَتَّى يَكُونَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجِدَارِ الَّذِي قِبَلَ وَجْهِهِ قَرِيبًا مِنْ ثَلاَثِ أَذْرُعٍ، فَيُصَلِّي يَتَوَخَّى الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي أَخْبَرَهُ بِلاَلٌ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى فِيهِ، وَلَيْسَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ بَأْسٌ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فِي أَىِّ نَوَاحِي الْبَيْتِ شَاءَ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Offer prayer at any place inside of the Ka'ba and aim your prayer towards where Prophet Muhammad used to pray if possible.

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Nafi’ states that it is permissible for any person to offer prayer at any place inside the Ka’aba. This means that Muslims are allowed to pray wherever they feel comfortable within this sacred space. Additionally, Bilal informed Ibn ‘Umar that Prophet Muhammad used to offer his prayers at a certain spot within the Ka’aba. Therefore, it is recommended for Muslims to follow in his footsteps and aim their prayers towards this area when praying inside of the Ka’aba.
