I'tikaf (Seclusion in the Mosque) in the Month of Ramadan

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ‏:‏ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ‏)‏‏)‏

Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to observe I`tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ، تَعَالَى ثُمَّ اعْتَكَفَ أَزْوَاجُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ‏)‏‏)‏
