وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
خَالِدٌ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ
الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ
عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : " السُّنَّةُ عَلَى الْمُعْتَكِفِ أَنْ لَا يَعُودَ مَرِيضًا وَلَا يَشْهَدَ جَنَازَةً وَلَا يَمَسَّ امْرَأَةً وَلَا يُبَاشِرَهَا وَلَا يَخْرُجَ لِحَاجَةٍ إِلَّا لِمَا لَا بُدَّ مِنْهُ ، وَلَا اعْتِكَافَ إِلَّا بِصَوْمٍ ، وَلَا اعْتِكَافَ إِلَّا فِي مَسْجِدٍ جَامِعٍ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : غَيْرُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، لَا يَقُولُ فِيهِ : قَالَتْ : السُّنَّةُ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : جَعَلَهُ قَوْلَ عَائِشَةَ .
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The sunnah for one who is observing Itikaf (in a mosque) is not to visit a patient, or to attend a funeral, or touch or embrace one's wife, or go out for anything but necessary purposes. There is no Itikaf without fasting, and there is no Itikaf except in a congregational mosque.
