Is there a virtue to praying inside the Ka'bah compared to outside it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it said, O Shaykh: Does prayer inside the Ka'bah have a virtue over prayer outside the Ka'bah?

Answer:
Just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed, it has a virtue. This is why, when Aisha said she wanted to enter the Ka'bah, he said: Pray in the Hijr, for it is part of the House. And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
offer your prayers in the way you saw me offering my prayersصلوا كما رأيتموني أصلي
Sahih al-Bukhari 6008
This indicates that it has a virtue, but only in voluntary prayer. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pray the obligatory prayer in it.
Q: It is said that it is a sunnah if this is possible, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh: If it is possible, in order to follow the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
