[Machine] "Abu Sa'id withdrew in the middle ten nights (of Ramadan), and we also withdrew with him, meaning the Prophet ﷺ . When it was the morning of the twentieth night, he passed by us while we were relocating our belongings. He said, 'Whoever was observing i'tikaf should continue in his i'tikaf, for I had seen this night and forgot it, and I saw myself prostrating in water and clay, and the roof of the mosque was made of worn-out reeds. Then, the sky poured with rain, and I saw traces of water and clay on the Prophet's ﷺ nose and forehead."  

أحمد:١١٠٣٤حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ وَابْنُ أَبِي لَبِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ وَابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ اعْتَكَفَ الْعَشْرَ الْوَسَطَ وَاعْتَكَفْنَا مَعَهُ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا كَانَ صَبِيحَةُ عِشْرِينَ مَرَّ بِنَا وَنَحْنُ نَنْقُلُ مَتَاعَنَا فَقَالَ مَنْ كَانَ مُعْتَكِفًا فَلْيَكُنْ فِي مُعْتَكَفِهِ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ فَنُسِّيتُهَا وَرَأَيْتُنِي أَسْجُدُ فِي مَاءٍ وَطِينٍ وَعَرِيشُ الْمَسْجِدِ جَرِيدٌ فَهَاجَتِ السَّمَاءُ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِنَّ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ وَجَبْهَتِهِ أَثَرَ الْمَاءِ وَالطِّينِ

We practiced Iʿtikaf with Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the middle ten days (of Ramadan). In the morning of the twentieth (of Ramadan) we shifted our baggage, but Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and said, "Whoever was m Iʿtikaf should return to his place of Iʿtikaf, 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 Muhammad 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 of the Prophet ﷺ and its tip.

اعْتَكَفْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعَشْرَ الأَوْسَطَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ صَبِيحَةَ عِشْرِينَ نَقَلْنَا مَتَاعَنَا فَأَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ 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 بِالْحَقِّ لَقَدْ هَاجَتِ السَّمَاءُ مِنْ آخِرِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَكَانَ الْمَسْجِدُ عَرِيشًا فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ وَأَرْنَبَتِهِ أَثَرَ الْمَاءِ وَالطِّينِ
