Abu Wa'il narrates: Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): "Some people are observing i'tikaf (in the mosque) between your house and the house of Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him). Will you not forbid them?" Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Perhaps they are right and I am wrong; perhaps they have remembered and I have forgotten." Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "As for me, I know that i'tikaf is only valid in these three mosques: the Mosque of Madinah, the Mosque of Makkah and the Mosque of Iliya'."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
