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.
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 7, Hadith 135
← Previous Hadith
“When the Prophet (ﷺ) wanted to
start I’tikaf, he would pray the Subh, then he would enter the
place
where he wanted to observe I’tikaf. He wanted to spend the
last ten
days of Ramadan in I’tikaf, so he ordered that a tent be
set up for
him.” Then ‘Aishah ordered that a tent be set up for
her, and Hafash
ordered that a tent be set up for her. When Zainab
saw their two
tents, she also ordered that a tent be set up for her.
When the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw that, he said: “It is
righteousness that
you seek?” Then he did not observe I’tikaf
during Ramadan, and he
observed I’tikaf during ten days of Shawwal.
