حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ زِيَاد ، عَنْ مَالِك أَنَّهُ رَأَى بَعْضَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ إِذَا اعْتَكَفُوا الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى أَهَالِيهِمْ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا الْفِطْرَ مَعَ النَّاسِ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: I saw some people of knowledge, when they performed i'tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan, they would not come to their homes until they had performed the Eid al-Fitr prayer with the Muslims.
