بَابُ خُرُوجِ الْمُعْتَكِفِ لِلْعِيدِ
Chapter 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.
Hadith 648B1
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.
Hadith 648B2
قَالَ زِيَاد : قَالَ مَالِك : وَبَلَغَنِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ أَهْلِ الْفَضْلِ الَّذِينَ مَضَوْا وَهَذَا أَحَبُّ مَا سَمِعْتُ إِلَيَّ فِي ذَلِكَ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: It has reached me in this way from the people of knowledge and virtue who have passed, and this statement is most pleasing to me.
