[2769] 213 – (1167) It was narrated that Abü Sa'eed Al- KhudrI [may Allah be pleased with them] said: "The Messenger of Allah used to observe I'tikáf during the middle ten days of the month. Then when twenty nights had passed, and the twenty-first came, he would go back to his home, and those who had been observing I'tikâf with him also went back home. Then one month he observed I'tikâf on that night when he used to go home. Then he addressed the people and exhorted them as Allah willed, then he said: 'I used to observe I'tikáf during these ten days, then I decided to observe I'tikâf during these last ten days, so whoever was observing I'tikâf with me, let him stay in his place of I'tikâf, for I was shown this night, then I was caused to forget it, so seek it in the last ten nights, on every odd-numbered night, for I saw myself prostrating in water and mud." Abü Sa'eed Al-KhudrI said: "It rained on the night of the twenty- first, and the Masjid leaked at the place where the Messenger of Allah prayed. I looked at him when he had finished praying Subh and his face was wet with mud and water."
