بَابُ قَضَاءِ الِاعْتِكَافِMaking up missed I'tikaf
Hadith 649
حَدَّثَنِي زِيَاد ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي أَرَادَ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ فِيهِ ، وَجَدَ أَخْبِيَةً خِبَاءَ عَائِشَةَ ، وَخِبَاءَ حَفْصَةَ ، وَخِبَاءَ زَيْنَبَ فَلَمَّا رَآهَا سَأَلَ عَنْهَا ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : هَذَا خِبَاءُ عَائِشَةَ ، وَحَفْصَةَ ، وَزَيْنَبَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " آلْبِرَّ تَقُولُونَ بِهِنَّ " ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ حَتَّى اعْتَكَفَ عَشْرًا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to perform i'tikaf. When he came to the place where he wanted to perform i'tikaf, he found several tents. One tent belonged to Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), one tent belonged to Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her), and one tent belonged to Sayyida Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her). So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Whose tents are these?" The people said: They belong to Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her), and Sayyida Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you think these women are seeking righteousness?" Then he returned and did not perform i'tikaf, and he performed i'tikaf for ten days in the month of Shawwal.
