Chapter 232
I`tikaf (Seclusion in the Mosque) in the Month of Ramadan

1268 - عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال : كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يعتكف العشر الأواخر من رمضان . متفق عليه
1268. Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to observe I`tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

1269 - وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها أن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم كان يعتكف العشر الأواخر من رمضان حتى توفاه الله عز و جل ثم اعتكف أزواجه من بعده . متفق عليه
1269. `Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) used to engage himself in I`tikaf (seclusion for prayers) in the mosque during the last ten nights of Ramadan till he passed away; thereafter, his wives followed this practice after him.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

1270 - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال : كان النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم يعتكف في كل رمضان عشرة أيام فلما كان العام الذي قبض اعتكف عشرين يوما . رواه البخاري
1270. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) used to observe I`tikaf every year (during Ramadan) for ten days; in the year in which he passed away, he observed I`tikaf for twenty days.
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary: We learn from these Ahadith that the observance of I`tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan is Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH). But it can be done only in mosque not at home. I`tikaf helps to enhance one's spiritual growth and to strive hard to worship Allah better as there is nothing to distract one's attention from this noble pursuit.
