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.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ الْعَشْرَ الأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا وَسَأَلَتْ حَفْصَةُ عَائِشَةَ أَنْ تَسْتَأْذِنَ لَهَا فَفَعَلَتْ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ ذَلِكَ زَيْنَبُ ابْنَةُ جَحْشٍ أَمَرَتْ بِبِنَاءٍ فَبُنِيَ لَهَا قَالَتْ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى انْصَرَفَ إِلَى بِنَائِهِ فَبَصُرَ بِالأَبْنِيَةِ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا قَالُوا بِنَاءُ عَائِشَةَ وَحَفْصَةَ وَزَيْنَبَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ آلْبِرَّ أَرَدْنَ بِهَذَا مَا أَنَا بِمُعْتَكِفٍ فَرَجَعَ فَلَمَّا أَفْطَرَ اعْتَكَفَ عَشْرًا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ  

[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
