Pen for Allah

Narrated `Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (may peace be upon him) : While Allâh’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) was in I’tikaf (seclusion in the mosque) he used to put his head in the house (their house was right next to the Prophet’s mosque) so that I could comb and oil his hair. Whenever he was in I`tikâf he never used to enter the house except for an urgent need. (Bukhari)

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: وَإِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيُدْخِلُ عَلَيَّ رَأْسَهُ، وَهُوَ في المَسْجِدِ، فَأُرَجِّلهُ، وَكَانَ لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْبَيْتَ إِلاَّ لِحَاجَةٍ إِذَا كانَ مُعْتَكِفًا. (البخاري)

Narrated `Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) the wife of the Prophet (may peace be upon him): The Prophet (may peace be upon him) used to practise I`tikâf (seclusion in the mosque) in the last ten days of Ramadân till he died and then his wives used to practise I`tikâf after him. (Al Bukhari)

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: أَنَّ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ، ثُمَّ اعْتَكَفَ أَزْوَاجُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ. (البخاري)

Narrated Abû Sa`id (may Allah be pleased with him) about the Night of Qadr, he said: We practised I`tikâf (seclusion in the mosque) in the middle third of the month of Ramadân with the Prophet (may peace be upon him). In the morning of the 20th of Ramadan, the Prophet (may peace be upon him) came and addressed us and said, I was informed of the date of the Night of Qadr but I was caused to forget it; so search for it in the odd nights of the last ten nights of the month of Ramadân ……. (Al Bukhari)

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ اعْتَكَفْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْعَشْرَ الأَوْسَطَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، فَخَرَجَ صَبِيحَةَ عِشْرِينَ فَخَطَبَنَا، وَقَالَ إِنِّي أُرِيتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ، ثُمَّ أُنْسِيتُهَا، أَوْ نُسِّيتُهَا، فَالْتَمِسُوهَا في الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ في الْوِتْرِ…(البخاري)
