Abdullah Bin Samit reported that Abu Dharr said: Son of my brother; I used to observe prayer two years before the advent of Allah Apostle ﷺ. I said: To which direction did you turn your face? He said: To which Allah directed me to turn my face. The rest of the hadith is the same but with this addition that they went to a Kahin and his brother Unais began to praise him until he in verses declared him Unais as winner in the contest of poetry ; and so we got his camels; mixed them with our camels; and there is in this hadith also these words that Allah Apostle ﷺ came there and he circumambulated the House and observed two Rakahs of prayer behind the Station of Ibrahim. I came to him and I was the first amongst persons to greet him with Assalam-o-Alaikum; and I said to Allah Messenger Let there be peace upon you. And he said: Let there be peace upon you too; who are you? And in the hadith these words are also found: Since how long have you been here? And Abu Bakr said: Let him be my guest tonight.
