Retiring to a mosque for remembrance of Allah (Itikaf) (2671-2681)

Ibn Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to observe itikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan.

Abdullah Ibn Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to observe itikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan. Nafi said: Abdullah showed me the place in the mosque where the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to observe itikaf.

Aisha reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to observe itikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan.

This hadith has been narrated by Aisha through another chain of transmitters.

Aisha reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) 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 itikaf after him.

Aisha reported that when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) decided to observe itikaf, he prayed in the morning and then went to the place of his itikaf, and he commanded that a tent should be pitched for him, and it was pitched. He (once) decided to observe itikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan. Zainab (the wife of the Prophet) commanded that a tent should be pitched for her. It was pitched accordingly. And some other wives of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) commanded that tents should be pitched for them too. And they were pitched. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) offered the morning prayer, he looked and found (so many) tents. Thereupon he said: What is this virtue that these (ladies) have decided to acquire? He commanded his tent to be struck and abandoned itikaf in the month of Ramadan and postponed it to the first ten days of Shawwal.

This hadith has been reported through another chain of transmitters, and there it is mentioned that. Aisha, Hafsa and Zainab pitched the tents for itikaf.

Aisha reported that when the last ten nights began Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept awake at night (for prayer and devotion), wakened his family, and prepared himself to observe prayer (with more vigour).

Aisha reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to exert himself in devotion during the last ten nights to a greater extent than at any other time.

Aisha reported: I never saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fasting in the ten days of Dhu'I-Hijja.

Aisha reported: The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) did not observe fast in the ten days of Dhul-Hijja.
