حدثني زياد، عن مالك، عن ابن شهاب ، عن عمرة بنت عبد الرحمن ، عن عائشة ، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اراد ان يعتكف، فلما انصرف إلى المكان الذي اراد ان يعتكف فيه، وجد اخبية خباء عائشة، وخباء حفصة، وخباء زينب فلما رآها سال عنها، فقيل له: هذا خباء عائشة، وحفصة، وزينب، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " آلبر تقولون بهن"، ثم انصرف فلم يعتكف حتى اعتكف عشرا من شوال
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to perform i'tikaf. When he came to the place where he wanted to perform i'tikaf, he found several tents. One tent belonged to Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), one tent belonged to Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her), and one tent belonged to Sayyida Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her). So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Whose tents are these?" The people said: They belong to Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her), and Sayyida Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you think these women are seeking righteousness?" Then he returned and did not perform i'tikaf, and he performed i'tikaf for ten days in the month of Shawwal.

وسئل مالك، عن رجل دخل المسجد لعكوف في العشر الاواخر من رمضان فاقام يوما او يومين، ثم مرض فخرج من المسجد ايجب عليه ان يعتكف ما بقي من العشر إذا صح، ام لا يجب ذلك عليه، وفي اي شهر يعتكف إن وجب عليه ذلك، فقال مالك: يقضي ما وجب عليه من عكوف إذا صح في رمضان او غيره
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked: If a person begins i'tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan, then after one or two days he becomes ill and leaves the mosque, should he make up the days that remained when he becomes healthy, or should he not make them up? And if he does make them up, in which month should he do so? Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, replied: He should make up those days when he becomes well, whether in Ramadan or in any other month.

والمتطوع في الاعتكاف في رمضان، والذي عليه الاعتكاف امرهما واحد فيما يحل لهما ويحرم عليهما ولم يبلغني، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان اعتكافه إلا تطوعا
And the condition of voluntary and obligatory i'tikaf is the same; what is permissible in both is permissible, and what is prohibited in both is prohibited. And it has reached me from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that his i'tikaf was voluntary.
