[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.  

الكبرى للنسائي:٣٣٥٥أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

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