Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to observe i'tikaf, he would perform the morning prayer, then enter the place where he intended to sit for i'tikaf. When he intended to observe i'tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan, a tent would be set up for him. Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) also ordered for a tent to be set up for her, so a tent was set up for her as well. Lady Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) ordered for a tent to be set up for her, so a tent was set up for her as well. Then when Lady Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) saw their tents set up, she also ordered for a tent to be set up, so a tent was set up for her as well. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw this scene, he did not observe i'tikaf in Ramadan. And he observed i'tikaf in Shawwal.

Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I have already written this narration of Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) in the chapter, except for the statement that "he performed i'tikaf in a Turkish tent."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) observed i'tikaf during the first ten days of Ramadan, then he observed i'tikaf during the middle ten days in a Turkish tent, at the door of which a piece of mat was hanging. Then he narrated the complete hadith. I have already written this hadith before.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we observed i'tikaf with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) during the middle ten days of Ramadan. Then, when you reached the morning of the twentieth day and we returned, you slept. In your dream, the Night of Qadr was shown to you. Then it was made to be forgotten by you. Then, when evening came, you sat on the pulpit and addressed the people. Then the complete hadith was narrated. He said that whoever observed i'tikaf with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) should return to his place of i'tikaf.

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to observe i'tikaf during the last ten days of every Ramadan. Then, in the year in which he passed away, he observed i'tikaf for twenty days.

Hazrat Salim bin Abdullah bin Umar narrates that I heard my noble father saying that when the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) went beyond the seven days in the middle of Ramadan, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever among you wants to seek Laylat al-Qadr should seek it in the last seven nights."

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to perform i'tikaf, Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) also sought permission to perform i'tikaf with him. When Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) saw Lady Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), she also granted her permission, so she set up her tent. Then Lady Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) asked Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) to request permission from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for her as well, so that she could also perform i'tikaf with him. When Lady Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) saw this situation, she also set up her tent with them, and she was a very jealous woman. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw their tents set up, he said: "What is this? Do they seek to attain virtue through this?" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left the i'tikaf until Ramadan ended, and then he performed i'tikaf for ten days in Shawwal.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to observe i'tikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan.
