حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا نُعَيْمُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ مُوسَى ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا اعْتَكَفَ طُرِحَ لَهُ فِرَاشُهُ ، أَوْ يُوضَعُ لَهُ سَرِيرُهُ وَرَاءَ أُسْطُوَانَةِ التَّوْبَةِ " .
´It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that:` When the Prophet (ﷺ) observed I’tikaf, his bedding would be spread for him, or his bed would be placed there for him, behind the Pillar of Repentance.

Benefit:
The "Pillar of Repentance" refers to a specific pillar in the Prophet’s Mosque (Masjid Nabawi). A mistake was made by Abu Lubabah (radi Allahu anhu), and upon realizing it, he tied himself to this pillar in the Prophet’s Mosque, declaring that he would remain tied there until Allah the Exalted forgave him. After three days, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) received the glad tidings through revelation that Abu Lubabah’s repentance had been accepted. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then came himself and untied him.
