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.

Arabic text

2040 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَحْوَلِ، خَالِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، ح قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، ح قَالَ: وَأَظُنُّ أَنَّ ابْنَ أَبِي لَبِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: اعْتَكَفْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، العَشْرَ الأَوْسَطَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ صَبِيحَةَ عِشْرِينَ نَقَلْنَا مَتَاعَنَا، فَأَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «مَنْ كَانَ اعْتَكَفَ، فَلْيَرْجِعْ إِلَى مُعْتَكَفِهِ، فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ وَرَأَيْتُنِي أَسْجُدُ فِي مَاءٍ وَطِينٍ»، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ إِلَى مُعْتَكَفِهِ وَهَاجَتِ السَّمَاءُ، فَمُطِرْنَا، فَوَالَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالحَقِّ لَقَدْ هَاجَتِ السَّمَاءُ مِنْ آخِرِ ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ، وَكَانَ المَسْجِدُ عَرِيشًا، فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ وَأَرْنَبَتِهِ أَثَرَ المَاءِ وَالطِّينِ
