The Ruling on Entering the Ka'bah and Clinging to It

Question:
The author of al-Multaqa stated that there are hadiths indicating that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the Ka'bah, placed his hand on the House and its corners, and similar things, and the permissibility of touching the Ka'bah. It appears from the commentator's words that he agreed with the hadiths. So what is your comment, may Allah grant you success?

Answer:
As for his entry (peace and blessings be upon him) into the Ka'bah in the Year of the Conquest, this is established in the authentic collections. He (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the interior of the Ka'bah, called for the key and it was opened for him, so he entered its interior and removed the images that were in it, and washed it with water, then he said Allahu Akbar in it and said La ilaha illa Allah in it, and prayed two rak'ahs in the Ka'bah, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) exited. This is established. As for clinging to and attaching oneself to the Ka'bah, this is not established.
