وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ، ثنا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: " السُّنَّةُ عَلَى الْمُعْتَكِفِ أَنْ لَا يَعُودَ مَرِيضًا، وَلَا يَشْهَدُ جِنَازَةً وَلَا يَمَسَّ امْرَأَةً وَلَا يُبَاشِرَهَا وَلَا يَخْرُجَ لِحَاجَةٍ إِلَّا لِمَا لَا بُدَّ لَهُ مِنْهُ وَلَا اعْتِكَافَ إِلَّا بِصَوْمٍ وَلَا اعْتِكَافَ إِلَّا فِي مَسْجِدٍ جَامِعٍ" قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: قَدْ ذَهَبَ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ الْحُفَّاظِ إِلَى أَنَّ هَذَا الْكَلَامَ مِنْ قَوْلِ مَنْ دُونَ عَائِشَةَ وَأَنَّ مَنْ أَدْرَجَهُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ وَهِمَ فِيهِ، فَقَدْ رَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ: الْمُعْتَكِفُ لَا يَشْهَدُ جِنَازَةً وَلَا يَعُودُ مَرِيضًا وَلَا يُجِيبُ دَعْوَةً وَلَا اعْتِكَافَ إِلَّا بِصِيَامٍ وَلَا اعْتِكَافَ إِلَّا فِي مَسْجِدِ جَمَاعَةٍ. وَعَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: الْمُعْتَكِفُ لَا يَعُودُ مَرِيضًا وَلَا يَشْهَدُ جِنَازَةً.
Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: The sunnah for the mu'takif is that he does not visit a sick person, does not attend a funeral, does not touch a woman nor have intimate relations with her, and does not go out for any need except what is unavoidable; there is no i'tikaf without fasting, and no i'tikaf except in a congregational mosque.
(Hisham bin Urwah narrates from Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) that the mu'takif should not attend a funeral, nor visit the sick, nor accept an invitation, nor perform i'tikaf without fasting, and there is no i'tikaf except in a congregational mosque. Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The mu'takif should not visit the sick nor attend a funeral.)
Many of the huffaz held that these words are the saying of someone below Aishah, and that whoever inserted them into the hadith erred.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالَا: ثنا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، أنبأ اللَّيْثُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمُرُّ بِالْمَرِيضِ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ فَيَمُرُّ كَمَا هُوَ وَلَا يَعْرُجُ يَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ، ⦗٥٢٧⦘ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عِيسَى قَالَتْ: إِنْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُ الْمَرِيضَ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ..
Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would pass by a sick person while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in i'tikaf, and he would pass on as he was, without turning aside to him to ask after him.
Ibn Isa narrates that Sayyidah (Aishah) (may Allah be pleased with her) said that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would visit the sick while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in i'tikaf.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، ثنا آدَمُ، ثنا وَرْقَاءُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: إِذَا اعْتَكَفَ فَلَا يجَامِعُ النِّسَاءَ.
Mujahid narrates from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: When a man is in i'tikaf, he should not have intimate relations with a woman.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الصَّائِغُ، ثنا آدَمُ، ثنا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فِي قَوْلِهِ {وَلَا تُبَاشِرُوهُنَّ وَأَنْتُمْ عَاكِفُونَ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ} [البقرة: ١٨٧] قَالَ: الْمُبَاشَرَةُ وَالْمُلَامَسَةُ وَالْمَسُّ جِمَاعٌ كُلُّهُ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُكَنِّي مَا شَاءَ بِمَا شَاءَ.
Sa'id bin Jubayr narrates from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) regarding this verse: "And do not have relations with them while you are in i'tikaf in the mosques" [Surah al-Baqarah: 187]: Mubasharah, mulamasah and mass all mean sexual intercourse, but Allah Almighty alludes to whatever He wills with whatever words He wills.
