بَابُ خُرُوجِ الْمُعْتَكِفِ لِلْعِيدِChapter on the exit of the one in i‘tikaf for Eid
Hadith 648
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ زِيَاد بْن عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مَالِك ، عَنْ سُمَيٍّ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ " اعْتَكَفَ فَكَانَ يَذْهَبُ لِحَاجَتِهِ تَحْتَ سَقِيفَةٍ فِي حُجْرَةٍ مُغْلَقَةٍ فِي دَارِ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ ، ثُمَّ لَا يَرْجِعُ حَتَّى يَشْهَدَ الْعِيدَ مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ "
It is narrated from Hazrat Sumi, the freed slave of Abu Bakr, that when Abu Bakr bin Abdur Rahman would observe i'tikaf, he would go, for the time of necessary need, into a roofed room which remained closed in the house of Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him). Then he would not leave the i'tikaf until he attended the Eid with the Muslims.
