English

[2785] 6 – (1173) It was narrated that 'Aishah [may Allah be pleased with her] said: "When the Messenger of Allah wanted to observe I'tikâf, he prayed Fajr then he entered his place of I'tikaf. He commanded that his tent be set up – when he wanted to observe I'tikâf during the last ten days of Ramalân – and Zainab ordered that her tent be set up, and other wives of the Prophet ordered that their tents be set up. When the Messenger of Allah ito, prayed Fajr, he looked and saw the tents, and he said: 'Is it righteousness that they seek?' He ordered that his tent be taken down and he did not observe I'tikâf during (that) Ramadân, until he observed I'tikâf during the first ten days of hawwâl."
