It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever walks to fulfil the need of his brother, that is better for him than ten years of i'tikaf (seclusion in the mosque); and whoever observes i'tikaf for one day seeking the pleasure of Allah, Allah Almighty will place three trenches between him and the Fire, each trench wider than the distance between the east and the west."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abd al-Aziz bin Abi Rawwad (may Allah have mercy on him) except Bishr bin Salm al-Bajali (may Allah have mercy on him), and his son (al-Hasan bin Bishr) is alone in narrating it from him."
