من قال لا اعتكاف إلا في مسجد يجمع فيه
Those who said: there is no itikaf except in a mosque where Friday prayer is held
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9927 — Those who said: there is no itikaf
٩٩٢٧ - حدثنا وكيع عن سفيان عن واصل الأحدب عن إبراهيم قال: جاء حذيفة إلى عبد اللَّه فقال: ألا أعجبك من (قوم) (١) عكوف بين دارك (وبين) (٢) دار الأشعري يعني (المسجد) (٣) قال عبد اللَّه: (فلعلهم) (٤) أصابوا وأخطأت، فقال ⦗٩٨⦘ حذيفة: أما علمت أنه لا اعتكاف إلا في ثلاثة (مساجد) (٥): المسجد الحرام والمسجد الأقصى (ومسجد) (٦) (الرسول) (٧) ﷺ، وما أبالي (اعتكف) (٨) (فيه أو في) (٩) سوقكم هذه (١٠).
Ibrahim said: Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) once came to Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him, "Are you not amazed at the people who are sitting in i'tikaf between your house and the house of al-Ash'ari, meaning in the mosque?" Sayyiduna Abdullah said, "Perhaps they are right and you are mistaken." Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Do you not know that i'tikaf is only in three mosques: first, al-Masjid al-Haram; second, al-Masjid al-Aqsa; and third, the Mosque of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? In my view, observing i'tikaf in this mosque in which those people are sitting in i'tikaf and observing i'tikaf in the marketplace are the same."
