[Machine] From Safiyyah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , that the Prophet ﷺ used to observe itikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan.  

عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «اعْتَكَفَ الْعَشْرَ الْغَوَابِرَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ»  

[Machine] Abu Hurairah reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to observe Itikaf (seclusion for worship) during the last ten days of Ramadan until Allah the Exalted took his soul. Abu Abdullah (Al-Bukhari) said: Ibn Juraij did not agree with him (Abu Hurairah).  

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللهُ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ خَالَفَهُ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to observe Iʿtikāf (spiritual retreat) during the last ten days of Ramadan until Allah took him. Then his wives observed Iʿtikāf after him. Abu ʿAbdul-Raḥmān narrated it from Al-Laith from Az-Zuhrī from Saʿīd as a Mursal Hadith.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ «يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ ثُمَّ اعْتَكَفَ أَزْوَاجُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ رَوَاهُ اللَّيْثُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ مُرْسَلًا  

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) used to observe i'tikif in the last ten days of Ramadan till Allah called him back (to his heavenly home). Then his wives observed i'tikaf after him. (Using translation from Muslim 1172c)  

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ ثُمَّ اعْتَكَفَ أَزْوَاجُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ  

The Prophet ﷺ used to observe retirement (i'tikaf) to the mosque during the last ten days of Ramadan till Allah took him, and then his wives observed retirement to the mosque after his death. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2462)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ «يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ ثُمَّ اعْتَكَفَ أَزْوَاجُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ»  

[Machine] Aisha used to seclude herself during the last ten nights, and she would not enter her house except for necessary human needs.  

كَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ «تَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ فَلَا تَدْخُلُ بَيْتِهَا إِلَّا لِحَاجَةِ الْإِنْسَانِ الَّتِي لَا بُدَّ لَهُ مِنْهَا»  

[Machine] Aisha used to stay in the mosque and would stay in seclusion for the last ten nights of Ramadan. She would not go to her house except for a necessary human need.  

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ كَانَتْ «إِذَا اعْتَكَفَتْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَكَانَتْ تَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْغَوَابِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَلَا تَدْخُلُ بَيْتَهَا إِلَّا لِحَاجَةِ الْإِنْسَانِ الَّتِي لَا بُدَّ لَهُ مِنْهَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to observe the last ten nights of Ramadan in seclusion. Abu Abdullah said, "This hadith was narrated by Muhammad bin Amr. If his nickname was Abu al-Hasan, then he may be a Muhajir (immigrant)." Shu'bah also narrated from him.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «كَانَ يُعْتَكَفُ الْعَشْرُ الْأَوَاخِرُ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ قَدْ رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو فَإِنْ كَانَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو كُنْيَتُهُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ فَلَعَلَّهُ وَمُهَاجِرٌ كُنْيَتُهُ أَبُو الْحَسَنُ وَقَدْ رَوَى عَنْهُ شُعْبَةُ  

I used to devote myself (observe i'tikaf) during these ten (nights). Then I started devoting myself in the last ten (nights). And he who desires to observe i'tikaf along with me should spend the night) at his place of i'tikaf. And I saw this night (Lailat-ul-Qadr) but I forgot it (the exact night) ; so seek it;In the last ten nights on odd numbers. I saw (the glimpses of that dream) that I was prostrating in water and mud. Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said: It rained on the twenty-first night and the water dripped (from the roof) of the mosque at the place where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed prayer. I looked at him and as he completed the dawn prayer, (I found) his face was wet with mud and water. (Using translation from Muslim 1167a)  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُجَاوِرُ الْعَشْرَ الَّتِي فِي وَسَطِ الشَّهْرِ فَإِذَا كَانَ مِنْ حِينِ تَمْضِي عِشْرُونَ لَيْلَةً وَيَسْتَقْبِلُ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَسْكَنِهِ وَرَجَعَ مَنْ كَانَ يُجَاوِرُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَقَامَ فِي شَهْرٍ جَاوَرَ فِيهِ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ يَرْجِعُ فِيهَا فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِمَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنِّي كُنْتُ أُجَاوِرُ هَذِهِ الْعَشْرِ ثُمَّ بَدَا لِي أَنْ أُجَاوِرَ هَذِهِ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ فَمَنْ كَانَ اعْتَكَفَ مَعِي فَلْيَثْبُتْ فِي مُعْتَكَفِهِ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ فَأُنْسِيتُهَا فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فِي كُلِّ وِتْرٍ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَسْجُدُ فِي مَاءٍ وَطِينٍ» قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ مُطِرْنَا لَيْلَةَ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ فَوَكَفَ الْمَسْجِدُ فِي مُصَلَّى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَقَدِ انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ وَوَجْهُهُ مُبْتَلٌّ طِينًا وَمَاءً  

[Machine] The passage translates to: "It is narrated from the Prophet ﷺ that he used to observe itikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan. However, in the year he passed away, he observed itikaf for twenty days."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ «يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ»  

The Prophet ﷺ used to observe i'tikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan. One year he did not observe i'tikaf. When the next year came, he observed i'tikaf for twenty nights (i.e. days). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2463)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ «يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَسَافَرَ عَامًا فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الْمُقْبِلُ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ»  

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  

One of the wives of Messenger of Allah ﷺ practiced Iʿtikaf with him while she ad bleeding in between her periods and she would see red (blood) or yellowish traces, and sometimes we put a tray beneath her when she offered the prayer. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2037)  

«اعْتَكَفَتْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِهِ مُسْتَحَاضَةٌ فَكَانَتْ تَرَى الْحُمْرَةَ وَالصُّفْرَةَ فَرُبَّمَا وَضَعَتِ الطَّسْتَ تَحْتَهَا وَهِيَ تُصَلِّي»  

[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  

I observed i'tikaf in the first ten (nights and days) in order to seek that night (Lailat-ul-Qadr). I then observed i'tikaf in the middle ten days. Then (an angel) was sent to me and I was told that this (night) is among the last ten (nights). He who among you likes to observe i'tikaf should do so; and the people observed it along with him, and he (the Holy Prophet) said: That (Lailat-ul-Qadr) was shown to me on an odd (night) and I (saw in the dream) that I was prostrating in the morning in clay and water. So in the morning of the twenty-first night when he (the Holy Prophet) got up for dawn (prayer). there was a rainfall and the mosque dripped, and I saw clay and water. When he came out after completing the morning prayer (I saw) that his forehead and the tip of his nose had (traces) of clay and water, and that was the twenty-first night among the last ten (nights). (Using translation from Muslim 1167c)  

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اعْتَكَفَ الْعَشْرَ الْأُوَلَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ اعْتَكَفَ الْعَشْرَ الْأوْسَطَ فِي قُبَّةٍ تُرْكِيَّةٍ عَلَى سُدَّتِهَا قِطْعَةُ حَصِيرٍ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ الْحَصِيرَ بِيَدِهِ فَنَحَّاهَا فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْقُبَّةِ ثُمَّ أَطْلَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَكَلَّمَ النَّاسَ فَدَنَوْا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأُوَلَ أَلْتَمِسُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ ثُمَّ اعْتَكَفْتُ الْعَشْرَ الْأوْسَطَ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ فَقِيلَ لِي إِنَّهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ فَلْيَعْتَكِفْ فَاعْتَكَفَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ قَالَ «وَإِنِّي أُرِيتُهَا لَيْلَةَ وِتْرٍ وَإِنِّي ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ كَلِمَةً مَعْنَاهَا أَسْجُدُ صَبِيحَتَهَا فِي طِينٍ وَمَاءٍ» فَأَصْبَحَ مِنْ إِحْدَى وعِشْرِينَ وَقَدْ قَامَ إِلَى الصُّبْحِ وَمَطَرَتِ السَّمَاءُ فَوَكَفَ الْمَسْجِدُ فَأَبْصَرْتُ الطِّينَ وَالْمَاءَ فَخَرَجَ حِينَ فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ وَجَبِينُهُ وَرَوْثَةُ أَنْفِهِ فِيهِمَا الطِّينُ وَالْمَاءُ وَإِذَا هِيَ لَيْلَةُ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ  

ʿUmar said "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I vowed to perform Iʿtikaf for one night in Al-Masjid-al-Haram, during the Pre-Islamic Period of ignorance (before embracing Islam). "The Prophet ﷺ said, "Fulfill your vow." Ibn ʿUmar said to the lady, "Pray on her behalf." Ibn ʿAbbas said the same. (Using translation from Bukhārī 6697)   

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ أَنْ أَعْتَكِفَ لَيْلَةً فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَقَدْ جَاءَ اللهُ بِالْإِسْلَامِ فَقَالَ «أَوْفِ بِنَذْرِكَ»  

O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I vowed during the jahiliyyah to observe i’tikaf for one night in al-Masjid al-Haram. He said to him: “Fulfil your vow.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 255)   

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ أَنْ أَعْتَكِفَ لَيْلَةً فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ قَالَ «أَوْفِ بِنَذْرِكَ»  

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that 'Umar had vowed -during the Jahiliyyah- to spend a day in 'Itikaf. He asked the Messenger of Allah about that, and he commanded him to perform the 'Itikaf. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3822)  

أَنَّ عُمَرَ كَانَ قَدْ جَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمًا يَعْتَكِفُهُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَسَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ «فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ»  

[Machine] When the Prophet ﷺ finished from Hunayn, Umar asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about a vow that he had made during the days of ignorance to observe seclusion for a day, so he commanded him to fulfill it.  

لَمَّا قَفَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ حُنَيْنٍ «سَأَلَ عُمَرُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ نَذْرٍ كَانَ نَذَرَهُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ اعْتِكَافَ يَوْمٍ فَأَمَرَهُ بِهِ»  

"Umar had made a vow to spend a night in 'Itikaf in Al-Masjid Al-Haram. He asked the Messenger of Allah about that, and he ordered him to perform the 'Itikaf." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3821)  

كَانَ عُمَرُ نَذَرَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ اعْتِكَافِ لَيْلَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ «فَسَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ»  

It was narrated from ‘Umar that he had vowed during the days of Ignorance to spend one night in I’tikaf. He asked the Prophet ﷺ about it, so he commanded him to spend it in I’tikaf. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1772)  

«أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ لَيْلَةُ نَذْرٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَعْتَكِفُهَا فَسَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ»  

[Machine] That Umar asked the Messenger of Allah about seclusion, so he ordered him to seclude himself and fast.  

أَنَّ عُمَرَ «سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ اعْتِكَافٍ عَلَيْهِ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ وَيَصُومَ»  

Safiya, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ told me that she went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ to visit him in the mosque while he was in Iʿtikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan. She had a talk with him for a while, then she got up in order to return home. The Prophet ﷺ accompanied her. When they reached the gate of the mosque, opposite the door of Um-Salama, two Ansari men were passing by and they greeted Allah's Apostle . He told them: Do not run away! And said, "She is (my wife) Safiya bint Huyai." Both of them said, "Subhan Allah, (How dare we think of any evil) O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" And they felt it. The Prophet said (to them), "Satan reaches everywhere in the human body as blood reaches in it, (everywhere in one's body). I was afraid lest Satan might insert an evil thought in your minds." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2035)   

أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ تَزُورُهُ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ فِي الْغَوَابِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَتَحَدَّثَتْ عِنْدَهُ سَاعَةً مِنَ الْعِشَاءِ ثُمَّ قَامَتْ تَنْقَلِبُ فَقَامَ مَعَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْلِبُهَا حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَتْ بَابَ الْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِي عِنْدَ مَسْكَنِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِمَا رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَسَلَّمَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ نَفَذَا فَقَالَ لَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «عَلَى رِسْلِكُمَا إِنَّمَا هِي صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيٍّ» فَقَالَا سُبْحَانَ اللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَكَبُرَ عَلَيْهِمَا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَبْلُغُ مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ مَبْلَغَ الدَّمِ إِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَقْذِفَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمَا شَيْئًا»  

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was observing I'tikaf (in the mosque), I would come to him to visit him. I had a talk with him and then stood up. I then returned and he (the Prophet) also stood up to accompany me (to my house). Her dwelling place was in the house of Usamah b. Zaid. Two men from the Ansar (helpers) passed (by him at the moment). When they saw the Prophet ﷺ, they walked quickly. The Prophet ﷺ said: Be at ease, she is Safiyyah daughter of Huyayy. They said: Be glory to Allah, Messenger of Allah! He said: Satan runs in man like blood. I feared he might inspire something in your mind, or he said: evil (the narrator doubted). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2470)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُعْتَكِفًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَزُورُهُ لَيْلًا فَحَدَّثْتُهُ ثُمَّ قُمْتُ فَانْقَلَبْتُ فَقَامَ مَعِي يَقْلِبُنِي وَكَانَ مَسْكَنُهَا فِي دَارِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ فَمَرَّ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَلَمَّا رَأَيَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَسْرَعَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «عَلَى رِسْلِكُمَا إِنَّهَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيٍّ» فَقَالَا سُبْحَانَ اللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ وَإِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنَّ يِقْذِفَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمَا شَرًّا أَوْ قَالَ شَيْئًا» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَرْسَلَهُ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to seclude himself (in worship) and one night Safiyyah came to him. When she returned, he walked with her at night and a man from the Ansar saw him and called him. He said, "Come here, this is Safiyyah and indeed the Shaytan runs through a person like the flowing of blood."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مُعْتَكِفًا فَأَتَتْهُ صَفِيَّةُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَتْ مَشَى مَعَهَا لَيْلًا فَأَبْصَرَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَدَعَاهُ فَقَالَ «تَعَالَهْ إِنَّهَا صَفِيَّةُ وَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ» 3345 أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا حِبَّانُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ  

[Machine] He heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , while he was sitting in the mosque one day, preaching to the people, admonishing them, and encouraging them. Then he said, "There is no one who prays except that he is conversing with his Lord, so none of you should raise his voice over another with the recitation of the Qur'an." [387] 3347 Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abdul-Hakam informed us from Shuayb from Layth who said: Ibn al-Had informed us from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim from Ata bin Yasar from a man from the Ansar from Bani Bayadah that he heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and he mentioned a similar narration. 3348 Muhammad ibn Abdullah informed us from Shuayb who said: Layth informed us who said: Ibn al-Had informed us from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim from Abu Hazim, the freed slave of Ghifar, that he narrated this hadith from Al-Bayadi from the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . Abu Abdur-Rahman contradicted him and narrated it from his master, Sa'id.  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُجَاوِرٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَوْمًا فَوَعَظَ النَّاسَ وَحَذَّرَهُمْ وَرَغَّبَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ مُصَلٍّ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلَا يَجْهَرْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِالْقُرْآنِ» [387]

3347 أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْهَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ بَنِي بَيَاضَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ

3348 أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْهَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ مَوْلَى الْغِفَارِيِّينَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الْبَيَاضِيُّ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ خَالَفَهُ عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ فَرَوَاهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed i'tikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan and said, "When one of you is in prayer, he is conversing with his Lord, so do not raise your voices with the recitation of the Quran." Abu 'Abdur-Rahman differed with him, and Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated it from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim, from Abu Hazim.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اعْتَكَفَ الْعَشْرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ وَقَالَ «إِنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِذَا كَانَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّمَا يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلَا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ بِالْقُرْآنِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ خَالَفَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ فَرَوَاهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came out to the people while they were praying and their voices were raised in recitation. He said, "Indeed, the one who is praying is in private conversation with his Lord, so let him see what he converses with Him and not raise his voice over others with the Quran." Abu Abdullah Al-Rahman said that Ibn Al-Mubarak, Al-Laith ibn Saad, and Yazid ibn Harun narrated this hadith.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ وَقَدْ عَلَتْ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الْمُصَلِّيَ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلْيَنْظُرْ مَاذَا يُنَاجِيهِ بِهِ وَلَا يَجْهَرْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِالْقُرْآنِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَرْسَلَهُ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ واللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ [388]

3351 أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ مُرْسَلًا

3352 أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ مَوْلَى الْأَنْصَارِ وَكَانَ قَدِيمًا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْمُصَلِّيَ» فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ

3353 أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ مَوْلَى الْأَنْصَارِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ 3354 قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَبَا حَازِمٍ أَخْبَرَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ نَحْوَهُ  

[Machine] It was narrated from the Prophet ﷺ that when he performed i'tikaf, he would not enter his house except for essential human needs.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ «إِذَا اعْتَكَفَ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بَيْتَهُ إِلَّا لِحَاجَةِ الْإِنْسَانِ الَّتِي لَا بُدَّ مِنْهَا»  

[Machine] If I come to the house and there is a sick person in it, I do not ask for anything except while I am standing, and if the Prophet ﷺ entered upon me, I would get up and he would only come to the house if a person needed to perform ablution and was in retreat.  

«إِنْ كُنْتُ لَآتِي الْبَيْتَ وَفِيهِ الْمَرِيضُ فَمَا أَسْأَلُ إِلَّا وَأَنَا قَائِمَةٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُدْخِلُ عَلَيَّ رَأْسَهُ فَأُرَجِّلُهُ وَكَانَ لَا يَأْتِي الْبَيْتَ إِلَّا لِحَاجَةِ الْإِنْسَانِ إِذَا أَرَادَ الْوُضُوءَ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ»  

[Machine] About the sick person, she walks and does not stop.  

عَنِ الْمَرِيضِ إِلَّا وَهِيَ تَمْشِي لَا تَقْفُ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to seclude himself (in worship), and he would not enter the house except for a necessity that cannot be avoided. I washed his head, and there was a small distance between me and the threshold of the house." Abu Abdur Rahman Sufyan bin Husayn said, "There is no harm in that, except according to Az-Zuhri, and he is not strong in his opinion. His equivalent in opinion according to Az-Zuhri is Sulaiman bin Kathir and Ja'far bin Burqan, and there is no harm in their opinions except according to Az-Zuhri."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُعْتَكِفًا وَكَانَ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْبَيْتَ إِلَّا لِحَاجَةٍ لَا بُدَّ مِنْهَا وَغَسَلْتُ رَأْسَهُ وَإِنَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ لَعَتَبَةُ الْبَيْتِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ فِي غَيْرِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ فِي الزُّهْرِيِّ بِالْقَوِيِّ وَنَظِيرُهُ فِي الزُّهْرِيِّ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ وَجَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ وَلَيْسَ بِهِمَا بَأْسٌ فِي غَيْرِ الزُّهْرِيِّ  

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)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ «إِذَا اعْتَكَفَ يُدْنِي إِلَيَّ رَأْسَهُ فَأُرَجِّلُهُ وَكَانَ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْبَيْتَ إِلَّا لِحَاجَةِ الْإِنْسَانِ»  

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)  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا اعْتَكَفَ يُدْنِي إِلَيَّ رَأْسَهُ فَأُرَجِّلُهُ وَكَانَ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْبَيْتَ إِلَّا لِحَاجَةِ الْإِنْسَانِ»  

(the wife of the Prophet) Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to let his head in (the house) while he was in the mosque and I would comb and oil his hair. When in Iʿtikaf he used not to enter the house except for a need. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2029)  

«إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيُدْخِلُ عَلَيَّ رَأْسَهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَأُرَجِّلُهُ وَكَانَ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْبَيْتَ إِلَّا لِحَاجَةٍ إِذَا كَانَ مُعْتَكِفًا»  

[Machine] "It used to be that she would bring out her head to the Prophet ﷺ while she was in her room and he was in the mosque."  

«أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُرَجِّلُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُخْرِجُ إِلَيْهَا رَأْسَهُ وَهِيَ فِي حُجْرَتِهَا وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ»  

It was narrated from 'Aishah that she used to comb the hair of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when she was menstruating and he was performing I'tikaf. He would put his head out to her while she was in her room. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 386)  

«أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُرَجِّلُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ فَيُنَاوِلُهَا رَأْسَهُ وَهِيَ فِي حُجْرَتِهَا»  

"The Prophet ﷺ would put his head out while he was performing I'tikaf and I would wash it, while I was menstruating." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 387)  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُدْنِي إِلَيَّ رَأْسَهُ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ فَيَأْمُرُنِي فَأَغْسِلُهُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ»  

The Prophet ﷺ used to embrace me during my menses. He also used to put his head out of the mosque while he was in Iʿtikaf, and I would wash it during my menses. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2030)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يُخْرِجُ رَأْسَهُ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ فَيَأْمُرُنِي فَأَغْسِلُهُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ»  

"The Prophet ﷺ would put his head out for me while he was performing I'tikaf [1] and I would wash it, when I was menstruating." [1] Mujawir ("next door") here means while performing I'tikaf. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 276)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يُخْرِجُ إِلَيَّ رَأْسَهُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ فَأَغْسِلُهُ»  

[Machine] "I used to lift the head of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in i'tikaf in the mosque, and he would enter his head through the doorway of the chamber, so I would lift it up."  

«كُنْتُ أُرَجِّلُ رَأْسَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَيُدْخِلُ رَأْسَهُ عَلَى عَتَبَةِ الْحُجْرَةِ فَأُرَجِّلُهُ»  

[Machine] The messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to me while I was in Itikaf in the mosque and lean on the threshold of my room's door. I would wash his head while I was in my room and the rest of him in the mosque.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَأْتِينِي وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَيَتَّكِئُ عَلَى عَتَبَةِ بَابِ حُجْرَتِي فَأَغْسِلُ رَأْسَهُ وَأَنَا فِي حُجْرَتِي وَسَائِرُهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to put his head out of the Masjid while he was performing I'tikaf, and I would wash it, while I was menstruating." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 388)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ «يُخْرِجُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ فَأَغْسِلُهُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to have his head shaved near the mosque, and I would wash his head while I was menstruating. Abu 'Abd al-Rahman said: Hisham ibn 'Urwah narrated this hadith and did not mention that I was menstruating.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يُخْرِجُ إِلَيَّ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ وَهُوَ مُجَاوِرٌ فَأَغْسِلُهُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ رَوَاهُ هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ وَهُوَ مُجَاوِرٌ  

While in menses, I used to comb the hair of Messenger of Allah ﷺ . (Using translation from Bukhārī 295)  

«كُنْتُ أُرَجِّلُ رَأْسَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to seclude himself in the mosque and would put his head out so that I could wash his head with Al-Khitmi while I was on my period.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مُعْتَكِفًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَيُخْرِجُ رَأْسَهُ فَأَغْسِلُهُ بِالْخِطْمِيِّ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to spend the middle ten days of Ramadan in retirement and devotion (i'tikaf) in the mosque. One year he had retirement and devotion in the mosque (as usual); when the twenty-first night came, and this night when he used to come out his devotion in the mosque, he said: He who has engaged himself in devotion along with me should do so during the last ten days; I saw that night, that was caused to forget it, but I have seen myself prostrating in water and mud on the morning following (that night), so seek it in the last ten days and seek it every night with an odd number. Abu sa'id said: Rain fell that night, the mosque that was thatched building dripped, and my eyes saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with the traces of water and mud, on his forehead on the morning following the twenty-first night. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1382)  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَعْتَكِفُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْوَسَطِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَاعْتَكَفَ عَامًا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةَ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرُونَ وَهِيَ اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي يَخْرُجُ مِنْ صَبِيحَتِهَا مِنِ اعْتِكَافِهِ» قَالَ «مَنْ كَانَ اعْتَكَفَ مَعِي فَلْيَعْتَكِفْ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ فَأُرِيتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ ثُمَّ أُنْسِيتُهَا وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَسْجُدُ مِنْ صَبِيحَتِهَا فِي مَاءٍ وَطِينٍ فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ وَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي كُلِّ وِتْرٍ» قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَأَمْطَرَتِ السَّمَاءُ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ وَكَانَ الْمَسْجِدُ عَلَى عَرِيشٍ فَوَكَفَ الْمَسْجِدُ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَبَصُرَتْ عَيْنَايَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى جَبِينِهِ وَأَنْفِهِ أَثَرُ الْمَاءِ وَالطِّينِ مِنْ صَبِيحَةِ لَيْلَةِ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ  

I asked Abu Saʿid, and he was a friend of mine, (about the Night of Qadr) and he said, "We practiced Iʿtikaf (seclusion in the mosque) in the middle third of the month of Ramadan with the Prophet ﷺ . In the morning of the 20th of Ramadan, the Prophet ﷺ came and addressed us and said, 'I was informed of (the date of the Night of Qadr) but I was caused to forget it; so search for it in the odd nights of the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. (In the dream) I saw myself prostrating in mud and water (as a sign). So, whoever was in Iʿtikaf with me should return to it with me (for another 10-day's period)', and we returned. At that time there was no sign of clouds in the sky but suddenly a cloud came and it rained till rainwater started leaking through the roof of the mosque which was made of date-palm leaf stalks. Then the prayer was established and I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ prostrating in mud and water and I saw the traces of mud on his forehead." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2016)   

تَذَاكَرْنَا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ وَكَانَ صَدِيقًا لِي فَقُلْتُ أَلَا تَخْرُجُ بِنَا إِلَى النَّخْلِ فَخَرَجَ وَعَلَيْهِ خَمِيصَةٌ فَقُلْتُ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَذْكُرُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ اعْتَكَفْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوْسَطِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَخَرَجْنَا صَبِيحَةَ عِشْرِينَ فَخَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ وَإِنِّي أُنْسِيتُهَا وَهِيَ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فِي وِتْرٍ وَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ أَنِّي أَسْجُدُ فِي مَاءٍ وَطِينٍ وَمَنْ كَانَ اعْتَكَفَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلْيَرْجِعْ» فَجَاءَتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَمُطِرْنَا حَتَّى سَالَ سَقْفُ الْمَسْجِدِ وَكَانَ مِنْ جَرِيدِ النَّخْلِ وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْجُدُ فِي الْمَاءِ وَالطِّينِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ أَثَرَ الطِّينِ فِي جَبْهَتِهِ  

The Prophet ﷺ used to observe i'tikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan. One year he did not observe i'tikaf. When the next year came, he observed i'tikaf for twenty nights (i.e. days). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2463)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ «يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَسَافَرَ عَامًا فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ قَابِلٌ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً الِاجْتِهَادُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ وَالْتِمَاسُ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فِيهَا»  

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to exert himself in devotion during the last ten nights to a greater extent than at any other time. (Using translation from Muslim 1175)  

عَائِشَةُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَجْتَهِدُ فِي الْعَشْرِ مَا لَا يَجْتَهِدُ فِي غَيْرِهَا»
