ذِكْرُ جَوَازِ اعْتِكَافِ الْمَرْأَةِ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا فِي مَسَاجِدِ الْجَمَاعَاتِ

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to observe I'tikaf, so Aisha sought his permission to observe it with him. He granted her permission, so she set up her place of seclusion. Then Hafsah asked her for permission to observe I'tikaf with her, but when Zainab saw this, she got angry and struck Hafsah along with her. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw what had happened, he said, 'What is this righteousness that you seek through this?' So he abandoned the I'tikaf until he broke his fast in Ramadan, then he observed it in the last ten days of Shawwal."  

ابن حبّان:٣٦٦٧أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرَادَ الِاعْتِكَافَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ لِتَعْتَكِفَ مَعَهُ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فَضَرَبَتْ خِبَاءَهَا فَسَأَلَتْهَا حَفْصَةُ أَنْ تَسْتَأْذِنَ لَهَا لِتَعْتَكِفَ مَعَهَا فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ ذَلِكَ زَيْنَبُ ضَرَبَتْ مَعَهَا وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةً غَيُورًا فَرَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَخْبِيَتَهُنَّ فَقَالَ ﷺ » مَا هَذَا آلْبِرَّ تُرِدْنَ بِهَذَا؟ « فَتَرَكَ الِاعْتِكَافَ حَتَّى أَفْطَرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ اعْتَكَفَ فِي عِشْرِينَ مِنْ شَوَّالٍ»
