English translation

2464. It was reported from Yahyā bin Sa'eed, from 'Amrah, from 'Aishah, who said: "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ wanted to observe I'tikāf, he would pray Fajr and enter his place of I'tikāf." She said: "On one occasion, he wanted to observe I'tikāf during the last ten of Ramaḍān." She said: "He ordered his tent to be pitched and it was pitched. When I saw that, I also ordered for my tent to be pitched, and it was pitched." She said: "And other wives of the Prophet ﷺ ordered it to be pitched and it was pitched. After he prayed Fajr, he saw the tents and said: 'What is this? Is it righteousness that you seek?'" She said: "Then he ordered his tent to be taken down, and his wives ordered their tents to be taken down, and he delayed his I'tikāf until the first ten days" meaning; of Shawwāl. (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: Ibn Ishāq and Al-Awzā'ī reported it from Yahyā bin Sa'eed, similarly. Mālik reported it from Yahyā bin Sa'eed, and he said: "He (the Prophet ﷺ) observed I'tikāf for twenty in Shawwāl."

2464 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَيَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ مُعْتَكَفَهُ» قَالَتْ: وَإِنَّهُ أَرَادَ مَرَّةً أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، قَالَتْ: فَأَمَرَ بِبِنَائِهِ فَضُرِبَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ أَمَرْتُ بِبِنَائِي فَضُرِبَ، قَالَتْ: وَأَمَرَ غَيْرِي مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صلّى الله عليه وسلم بِبِنَائِهِ فَضُرِبَ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ نَظَرَ إِلَى الْأَبْنِيَةِ، فَقَالَ: «مَا هَذِهِ؟ آلْبِرَّ تُرِدْنَ؟» قَالَتْ: فَأَمَرَ بِبِنَائِهِ فَقُوِّضَ، وَأَمَرَ أَزْوَاجُهُ بِأَبْنِيَتِهِنَّ فَقُوِّضَتْ، ثُمَّ أَخَّرَ الِاعْتِكَافَ إِلَى الْعَشْرِ الْأُوَلِ يَعْنِي مِنْ شَوَّالٍ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رَوَاهُ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، وَالْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، نَحْوَهُ، وَرَوَاهُ مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ شَوَّالٍ
