Discussion on I'tikaf (Spiritual Retreat)
Days of I'tikaf (Seclusion)
Hadith 267
516- وبه: عن أبى سلمة عن أبى سعيد الخدري أنه قال: كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعتكف فى العشر الوسط من رمضان، فاعتكف عاما. حتى إذا كان ليلة إحدى وعشرين، وهى الليلة التى يخرج من صبيحتها من اعتكافه، قال: ”من كان اعتكف معي فليعتكف فى العشر الأواخر، فقد رأيت هذه الليلة ثم أنسيته، وقد رأيتني أسجد فى صبيحتها فى ماء وطين، فالتمسوها فى العشر الآخر، والتمسوها فى كل وتر“ قال أبو سعيد: فأمطرت السماء تلك الليلة، وكان المسجد على عريش، فوكف المسجد. قال أبو سعيد: فنظرت عيناني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على جبينه وأنفه أثر الماء والطين فى صبح واحد وعشرين.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to observe i'tikaf in the middle ten days of Ramadan. Then one year he observed i'tikaf until the night of the twenty-first (21st of Ramadan), the morning of which he would come out of i'tikaf. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has observed i'tikaf with me should also observe i'tikaf in the last ten days, for I was shown that (special) night, then I was made to forget it, and I saw myself prostrating in water and mud on its morning." Therefore, seek it in the last ten days and seek it in every odd night. Abu Sa'id (al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him) said: That night it rained, and the roof of the mosque was made of palm branches, which started to leak. Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said: My two eyes saw that on the morning of the twenty-first (21st), there were traces of water and mud on the forehead and nose of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
