Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 979 — Mu'takif should not leave home

Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would lean his head towards me while he was in the mosque (in i'tikaf), so I would comb his hair, and when he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in i'tikaf, he would not enter the house except for a need.
