[Machine] Narrated Aisha, the wife of Prophet Muhammad, that the Messenger of Allah mentioned the idea of secluding himself during the last ten nights of Ramadan. Aisha sought permission from him, and he granted it. She then ordered for her room to be built, and it was done. Hafsah, another wife of the Prophet, asked Aisha to seek permission for her as well, and she did. Hafsah also ordered for her room to be built, and it was done. When Zainab saw this, she also ordered for her room to be built, and it was done. When the Prophet finished his prayers and left, he noticed the newly built rooms and asked, "What are these?" They replied, "These are the rooms of Aisha, Hafsah, and Zainab." The Prophet said, "Did you intend righteousness by this action? I am not going to seclude myself." So, he returned, and when he broke his fast, he secluded himself for the last ten days of Shawwal.  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فَأَمَرَتْ بِبِنَائِهَا فَضُرِبَ وَسَأَلَتْ حَفْصَةُ عَائِشَةَ أَنْ تَسْتَأْذِنَ لَهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺفَفَعَلَتْ فَأَمَرَتْ بِبِنَائِهَا فَضُرِبَ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ ذَلِكَ زَيْنَبُ أَمَرَتْ بِبِنَائِهَا فَضُرِبَ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى انْصَرَفَ فَبَصُرَ بِالْأَبْنِيَةِ فَقَالَ مَا هَذِهِ؟ قَالُوا بِنَاءُ عَائِشَةَ وَحَفْصَةَ وَزَيْنَبَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْبِرَّ أَرَدْتُنَّ بِهَذَا؟ مَا أَنَا بِمُعْتَكِفٍ فَرَجَعَ فَلَمَّا أَفْطَرَ اعْتَكَفَ عَشَرَ شَوَّالٍ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned that he would practice Iʿtikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan. ʿAisha asked his permission to perform Iʿtikaf and he permitted her. Hafsa asked ʿAisha to take his permission for her, and she did so. When Zainab bint Jahsh saw that, she ordered a tent to be pitched for her and it was pitched for her. Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to proceed to his tent after the prayer. So, he saw the tents ans asked, "What is this?" He was told that those were the tents of Aisha, Hafsa, and Zainab. Allah's Apostle said, "Is it righteousness which they intended by doing so? I am not going to perform Iʿtikaf." So he returned home. When the fasting month was over, he performed Itikar for ten days in the month of Shawwal. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2045)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ» فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فَسَأَلَتْ حَفْصَةُ عَائِشَةَ أَنْ تَسْتَأْذِنَ لَهَا فَفَعَلَتْ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ أَمَرَتْ بِبِنَائِهَا فَبُنِيَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى انْصَرَفَ إِلَى بِنَائِهِ فَبَصُرَ بِالْأَبْنِيَةِ فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا؟» فَقَالُوا هَذَا بِنَاءُ عَائِشَةَ وَحَفْصَةَ وَزَيْنَبَ فَقَالَ «آلْبِرَّ يُرِدْنَ بِهَذَا؟ مَا أَنَا بِمُعْتَكِفٍ» فَرَجَعَ فَلَمَّا أَفْطَرَ اعْتَكَفَ عَشْرًا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to observe i'tikaf in the first ten days of Ramadan, so Aisha sought permission from him and he granted her permission. Then Hafsah sought permission from him and he granted her permission. However, Zainab did not seek permission from him, but when she heard about it, she sought permission. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished praying Fajr, he went to visit those who were observing i'tikaf, and he found Aisha, Hafsah, and Zainab. He asked, "Who is this for?" They said, "For Aisha, Hafsah, and Zainab." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You want to compete in acts of goodness with this." So he did not observe i'tikaf in those ten days of Ramadan, but he observed i'tikaf in the ten days of Shawwal.  

أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأُوَلِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ حَفْصَةُ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا وَكَانَتْ زَيْنَبُ لَمْ تَكُنِ اسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ فَسَمِعَتْ بِذَلِكَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ أَتَى مُعْتَكَفَهُ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ إِذَا هُوَ بِأَرْبَعَةِ أَبْنِيَةٍ فَقَالَ «لِمَنْ هَذَا؟» قَالُوا لِعَائِشَةَ وَحَفْصَةَ وَزَيْنَبَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «آلْبِرَّ تَقُولُونَ يُرِدْنَ بِهَذَا» فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ فِي ذَلِكَ الْعَشْرِ وَاعْتَكَفَ فِي الْعَشْرِ مِنْ شَوَّالٍ
