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)

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).

Arabic text

2027 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الهَادِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الحَارِثِ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ فِي العَشْرِ الأَوْسَطِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، فَاعْتَكَفَ عَامًا، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةَ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ، وَهِيَ اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي يَخْرُجُ مِنْ صَبِيحَتِهَا مِنَ اعْتِكَافِهِ، قَالَ: «مَنْ كَانَ اعْتَكَفَ مَعِي، فَلْيَعْتَكِفِ العَشْرَ الأَوَاخِرَ، وَقَدْ أُرِيتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ ثُمَّ أُنْسِيتُهَا، وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَسْجُدُ فِي مَاءٍ وَطِينٍ مِنْ صَبِيحَتِهَا، فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي العَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ، وَالتَمِسُوهَا فِي كُلِّ وِتْرٍ»، فَمَطَرَتِ السَّمَاءُ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ وَكَانَ المَسْجِدُ عَلَى عَرِيشٍ، فَوَكَفَ المَسْجِدُ، فَبَصُرَتْ عَيْنَايَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ أَثَرُ المَاءِ وَالطِّينِ، مِنْ صُبْحِ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ
