ahmad:25984Yazīd > Sufyān > al-Zuhrī > ʿUrwah > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to seclude himself, and he would not enter the house except for a person's need. She said, "So I washed his head, and indeed there was a threshold between me and him at the door."  

أحمد:٢٥٩٨٤حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُعْتَكِفًا وَكَانَ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْبَيْتَ إِلَّا لِحَاجَةِ الْإِنْسَانِ قَالَتْ فَغَسَلْتُ رَأْسَهُ وَإِنَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ لَعَتَبَةُ الْبَابِ

malik:19-1Yaḥyá > Mālik > Ibn Shihāb > ʿUrwah b. al-Zubayr > ʿAmrah Bint ʿAbd al-Raḥman

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az- Zubayr from Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ said,"When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did itikaf he would bring his head near to me and I would comb it. He would only go into the house to relieve himself."  

مالك:١٩-١حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا اعْتَكَفَ يُدْنِي إِلَىَّ رَأْسَهُ فَأُرَجِّلُهُ وَكَانَ لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْبَيْتَ إِلاَّ لِحَاجَةِ الإِنْسَانِ  

ahmad:26261Isḥāq b. ʿĪsá > Mālik > al-Zuhrī > ʿUrwah b. al-Zubayr > ʿAmrah > ʿĀʾishah

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed I'tikaf, he would put his head near me, and I would comb it. and he entered the house only to fulfill human needs (i.e. to urinate or to relieve himself). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2467)   

أحمد:٢٦٢٦١حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُدْنِي إِلَيَّ رَأْسَهُفَأُرَجِّلُهُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ وَكَانَ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْبَيْتَ إِلَّا لِحَاجَةِ الْإِنْسَانِ  

ahmad:26278Muḥammad b. Yazīd > Sufyān / Ibn Ḥusayn > al-Zuhrī > ʿUrwah > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] The translation of the passage is: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to stay in the mosque as a retreat, and he would not enter his house except for a need. I (A'isha) said, "So I washed his head, and indeed the threshold was between me and him."  

أحمد:٢٦٢٧٨حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حُسَيْنٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ مُعْتَكِفًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْبَيْتَ إِلَّا لِحَاجَةٍ قَالَتْ فَغَسَلْتُ رَأْسَهُ وَإِنَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ الْعَتَبَةَ  

ذِكْرُ السَّبَبِ الَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ يَدْخُلُ الْمُعْتَكِفُ بَيْتَهُ فِي اعْتِكَافِهِ

ibnhibban:3672ʿUmar b. Saʿīd b. Sinān > Aḥmad b. Abū Bakr > Mālik > Ibn Shihāb > ʿUrwah And ʿAmrah > ʿĀʾishah

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed I'tikaf, he would put his head near me, and I would comb it. and he entered the house only to fulfill human needs (i.e. to urinate or to relieve himself). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2467)  

ابن حبّان:٣٦٧٢أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ وَعَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا اعْتَكَفَ أَدْنَى إِلَيَّ رَأْسَهُ فَأُرَجِّلُهُ فَكَانَ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْبَيْتَ إِلَّا لِحَاجَةِ الْإِنْسَانِ»
