Hadith 409
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : ثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : ثَنَا يُونُسُ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، وَعُمْرَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : " إِنْ كُنْتُ لآتِي الْبَيْتَ وَفِيهِ الْمَرِيضُ ، فَمَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ إِلا وَأَنَا مَارَّةٌ وَهِيَ مُعْتَكِفَةٌ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُدْخِلُ عَلَيَّ رَأْسَهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَأُرَجِّلُهُ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ ، وَكَانَ لا يَأْتِي الْبَيْتَ لِحَاجَةٍ إِلا إِذَا أَرَادَ الْوُضُوءَ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ " .
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that while in the state of i'tikaf, she would pass by the house of a sick person and, while walking, would inquire about their condition. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), while in the state of i'tikaf, would extend his head out from the mosque towards me, and I would comb his hair. Also, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would come home only to perform ablution while in the state of i'tikaf.
