Chapter 1

The I'tikāf in the last ten days of Ramaḍān. And I'tikāf may be practised in any mosque, as is evident in the Statement of Allāh: “... And do not have sexual relations with them (your wives); while you are in I'tikāf [i.e., confining oneself in a mosque for Ṣalāt (prayers) and invocations leaving the worldly activities for a limited number of days] in the mosques. These are the limits (set) by Allāh; so approach them not. Thus does Allāh make clear His Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, laws, legal and illegal things Allāh's set limits, orders), to mankind that they may become Al-Muttaqūn (the pious).” (V.2:187)

English translation

2027. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to practise I'tikāf in the middle ten days of Ramaḍān; and once he stayed in I'tikāf till the night of the twenty-first and it was the night in the morning of which he used to come out of his I'tikāf. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever was in I'tikāf with me should stay in I'tikāf for the last ten days, for I was informed (of the date) of the Night (of Qadr) but I have been caused to forget it. (In the dream) I saw myself prostrating in mud and water in the morning of that night. So, look for it in the last ten nights and in the odd ones of them." It rained that night (i.e. the 21st of Ramaḍān) and the roof of the mosque dribbled as it was made of leaf stalks of date-palms. I saw with my own eyes the marks of mud and water on the forehead of the Prophet ﷺ, i.e., in the morning of the twenty-first (of Ramaḍān).

2033. Narrated 'Amra: 'Aishah رضي الله عنها عُنِهَا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا said, “The Prophet ﷺ used to practise Itikāf in the last ten days of Ramaḍān and I used to pitch a tent for him, and after performing the morning Ṣalāt (prayer), he used to enter the tent.” Hafṣa asked the permission of 'Aishah to pitch a tent for her and she allowed her and she pitched her tent. When Zainab bint Jaḥsh saw it, she pitched another tent. In the morning the Prophet ﷺ noticed the tents. He said, “What is this?” He was told of the whole situation. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, “Do you think that they intended to do Al-Birr (righteousness) by doing this?” He therefore abandoned the Itikāf in that month and practised Itikāf for ten days in the month of Shawwāl.”

2035. Narrated 'Ali bin Al-Husain رضي الله عنه، the wife of the Prophet ﷺ told me that she went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ to visit him in the mosque while he was in I'tikāf in the last ten days of Ramaḍān. She had a talk with him for a while, then she got up in order to return home. The Prophet ﷺ accompanied her. When they reached the gate of the mosque, opposite the door of Umm Salama, two Anṣārī men were passing by and they greeted Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. He said to them: "Do not run away!" And said, "She is (my wife) Ṣāfiyya bint Ḥuyāi." Both of them said, "Subḥān Allāh, (How dare we think of any evil) O Allāh's Messenger." And they felt it. The Prophet ﷺ said (to them), "Satan reaches everywhere in the human body as blood reaches in it (everywhere in one's body). I was afraid lest Satan might insert an evil thought in your minds." [See H.2038].

2036. Narrated Abū Salama bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān: I asked Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī, "Did you hear Allāh's Messenger ﷺ talking about the night of Qadr?" He replied in the affirmative and said, "Once we were in I'tikāf with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ in the middle ten days of (Ramaḍān) and we came out of it in the morning of the twentieth, and Allāh's Messenger ﷺ delivered a Khutbā (religious talk) on the 20th (of Ramaḍān) and said, 'I was informed (of the date) of the night of Qadr (in my dream) but had forgotten it. So, look for it in the odd nights of the last ten nights of the month of Ramaḍān. I saw myself prostrating in mud and water on that night (as a sign of the night of Qadr). So, whoever had been in I'tikāf with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ should return for it.' The people returned to the mosque (for I'tikāf). There was no trace of clouds in the sky. But all of a sudden a cloud came and it rained. Then the Ṣalāt (prayer) was established (they stood for the Ṣalāt) and Allāh's Messenger ﷺ prostrated in mud and water and I saw mud over the forehead and the nose of the Prophet ﷺ."

2037. Narrated 'Aīshah رضي الله عنها: One of the wives of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ practised I'tikāf with him while she had bleeding in between her periods and she would see red (of blood) or yellowish traces; and sometimes we put a tray beneath her when she offered the Ṣalāt (prayer). [See H.No.309].

2038. Narrated 'Ali bin Al-Ḥusain (on the authority of Ṣafīyya, the Prophet's wife): The wives of the Prophet ﷺ were with him in the mosque (while he was in Itikāf) and then they departed and the Prophet ﷺ said to Ṣafīyya bint Ḥuyāi, "Don't hurry up, for I shall accompany you," (and her dwelling was in the house of Usāma). The Prophet ﷺ went out and in the meantime two Anṣārī men met him and they looked at the Prophet ﷺ and passed by. The Prophet ﷺ said to them, "Come here. She is (my wife) Ṣafīyya bint Ḥuyāi." They replied, "Subḥān Allāh, (how dare we think of evil) O Allāh's Messenger! (We never expect anything bad from you)." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Satan circulates in the human being as blood circulates in the body, and I was afraid lest Satan might insert an evil thought in your minds."

2039. Narrated 'Ali bin Al-Ḥusain on the authority of Ṣafīyya: Ṣafīyya went to the Prophet ﷺ while he was in Itikāf. When she returned, the Prophet ﷺ accompanied her, walking. An Anṣārī man saw him. When the Prophet ﷺ noticed him, he called him and said, "Come here. She is Ṣafīyya." (Sufyān a subnarrator perhaps said that the Prophet ﷺ had said, "This is Ṣafīyya"). And Satan circulates in the body of Ādam's offspring as his blood circulates in it." A subnarrator asked Sufyān, "Did Ṣafīyya visit him at night?" He said, "Certainly, at night."

2040. Narrated Abū Sa'īd عَنَّهُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: We practised Itikāf with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ in the middle ten days of Ramaḍān. In the morning of the twentieth of Ramaḍān we shifted our baggage, but Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came to us and said, "Whoever was in Itikāf should return to his place of Itikāf, for I saw (i.e., was informed about the date of) this Night (of Qadr) and saw myself prostrating in mud and water." When I returned to my place the sky was overcast with clouds and it rained. By Him Who sent Muḥammad ﷺ with the Truth, the sky was covered with clouds from the end of that day, and the mosque which was roofed with leafstalks of date-palm trees leaked with rain and I saw the trace of mud and water over the nose and also over the tip of the nose of the Prophet ﷺ.

2041. Narrated 'Amra bint 'Abdur-Raḥmān on the authority of 'Aīshah رضي الله عنها: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to practise Itikāf every year in the month of Ramaḍān. And after offering the morning Ṣalāt (prayer), he used to enter the place of his Itikāf. 'Aīshah asked his permission to let her practise Itikāf and he allowed her, and so she pitched a tent in the mosque. When Ḥāṣa heard of that, she also pitched a tent (for herself), and when Zainab heard of that, she too pitched another tent. When, in the morning, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had finished the morning Ṣalāt (prayer), he saw four tents and asked, "What is this?" He was informed about it. He then said, "What made them do this? Is it Al-Birr (righteousness)? Remove the tents, for I do not want to see them." So, the tents were removed. The Prophet ﷺ did not perform Itikāf that year in the month of Ramaḍān, but did it in the last ten days of Shawwāl.

When Zainab bint Jahsh saw that, she ordered a tent to be pitched for her and it was pitched for her. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to proceed to his tent after the Ṣalāt (prayer). So, he saw the tents and asked, "What is this?" He was told that those were the tents of 'Aīshah, Ḥafsa and Zainab. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Is it Al-Birr (righteousness) which they intended by doing so? I am not going to perform I'tikāf." So, he returned home. When the fasting month was over, he performed I'tikāf for ten days in the month of Shawwāl.
